At the Bottom

Hold in my breath-not taking a step

The good church has closed its doors on me

God don't like my dirty feet

Burnin' the lawn-everyone's gone

Ain't no BBQ going on today

I drink my dinner in the shade

[Pre-Chorus]

Days & days go by

Children laughin'

Still I don't smile at all

Mary's calling to me

“Can't you see what I see”

She would never let me down

[Chorus]

It's been a long time at the bottom

I spend a lot of time way down there

It's been a long time at the bottom

I don't know how I made it here

Been livin' a lie-my kisses are dry

I got No where else left to run

My love is blind deaf and dumb

Heaven can't wait-to lock up the gate

Tell me that I never could be long

I had my chance but got it wrong

[Pre-Chorus]

[Chorus]

Mother Mary stay with me

Don't let me die

You're the only god part left of my trash

God knows I can't change me

I've tried and tried

I never meant to make you cry
