Saving Grace

One time around the block 
Two times around the clock 
Three times, don't cross the little lady (lady) 

So pretty and, oh, so bold 
Got a heart full of gold on a lonely road 
She said, "I don't even think that God can save me" (save me) 

(Am I) gaining' ground 
(Am I) losing' face 
(Have I) lost and found my saving grace 
Thankful for the gift my angels gave me 

We're born alone, we die alone 
And I'm just sitting' here by the phone 
Waiting' for the Lord to send my calling' 

Street wise from the boulevard 
Jesus only knows that she tries too hard 
She's only trying' to keep the sky from falling' 

Any man who says it's Heaven and Hell 
Probably got something' useless to sell 
You ask me if I'm saved, but what's it to you? 

Blow a quarter an' cop another eighth 
If you're running' out of high and you're losing' your faith 
Just throw your hands up and scream, "Hallelujah" 

Hallelujah, Hallelujah 
Hallelujah, Hallelujah 
Amen 

One time around the sun 
Another year older and my work isn’t done 
It's time for me to write the final chapter (chapter) 

Deal the cards and roll the dice 
Sex, drugs and rock and roll are my only vice 
Trying' to figure out just what's here after (here after) 

Hallelujah, Hallelujah 
Hallelujah, Hallelujah 
Hallelujah, Hallelujah 
Amen
