Husk of a Man Lyrics

Been more than a few laps around the sun

Since I relapsed from Sunday service a' hopping cabarets

We bill and we coo through the daily blues

Only music Ill be facing's from my fingertips

I'm feeling the ways of a wayward world

Ain't no trade secret all my assets dipped a' dead & spent

How many more Mardi parties

Will I pig out on in the name of tomorrow's lent

Well, sometimes I feel like I'm barely alive

Husk of a man, shucking and jiving through life

Battered, abused but he'll help me survive

Ain't any use in waiting around to die

They're saying that time eases open wounds

Then why do I feel greater gloom marooned away from shore

Im begging him why leave me sore

How can a believer fight the fever like a Philistine

Nothing you say will ever hurt me

Anymore than I have already hurt myself

Why do we pray like the lottery

Why plant a seed, holler and scream at the ground to make it grow

Oh, sometimes I feel like I'm barely alive

Husk of a man, shucking and jiving through life

Battered, abused but he'll help me survive

Ain't any use in waiting around to die

Sometimes I feel like I'm barely alive

Husk of a man, shucking and jiving through life

Battered, abused but he'll help me survive

Ain't any use in waiting around to die
