Oh, when I left my mamas home Left her for dead when I left her all alone The whores they won`t let me be at night They can`t replace the warmth I need tonight Because I`m cold, cold as hell
The lord, He don`t wait for me at night He knows what I`ve done is wrong and it ain`t right The devil await me with open arms And he sways me with his wiles and with his charms I`m holding on when there`s nothing left to hold onto
Hold on to the sweet hereafter
The fountain from where I drank from as a child When I was young I was bored and I was wild Since then I have grown into a man And I know that I can always stand But I`m wrong, I`m still a child
Hold on to the sweet hereafter Hold on to the sweet hereafter
