Beth Hart - At The Bottom Lyrics

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

Prechorus:
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

prechorus repeat
chorus repeat

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
