Sanctified Lyrics

Making my way through this big bad world

Good Lord always made sure I had three squares, roof over my head

I broke my back and went to bed weary from building castles and other man's fortunes, but today, I am making my own, I am making my own

I have crawled across a thousand miles of desert

I have kicked the devil from the front step

Looked death square in the eyes

God Lord pushed my ass back outside

Said, "Go and make your old man proud."

Woke up face down in a stranger's house, no idea how I wound up here

Must have slipped and fell at the wishing well, good intentions always seem to drive me to hell

Reason why I need to look up everyone once and while and say I'm sorry

Cause when you're making your fortunes, chasing your fame, house catches fire,

only one to blame As you're making your own

The stars up of above have born witness to this story so many times before

They all sing in sweet harmony, that you are not a child anymore

So here I stand back at the cross, no heads or tails or coins to toss

Hoping that this prayer don't land on deaf ears

'cause I have chased and I have caught it all

I have chased and I have caught it all

I have chased I have caught it all, but looking up I feel so small

down here all alone

I have crawled across a thousand miles of desert

I have kicked the devil from the front step

Looked death square in the eyes

God Lord said, "Boy, you're Sanctified,

so kick off your shoes and step inside."

Made my way through this big bad world
