I used to smoke, I used to drink
I used to smoke, drink and dance the hootchie-koo
I used to smoke and drink, smoke and drink
And dance the hootchie-koo, it's true
Now I'm standing on this corner, praying for me and you
That's why I'm saved, I am saved
People, let me tell you about kingdom come
You know I'm saved, saved
I said I'm gonna preach it 'til you're deaf and dumb
I used to cuss, I used to fuss
I used to cuss, fuss and boogie all night long
I used to cuss and fuss, cuss and fuss and boogie all night long
Now I'm standing on this corner, I know right from wrong
Because I'm saved, I am saved
People, let me tell you about kingdom come
You know I'm saved, saved
I said I'm gonna preach it 'til you're deaf and dumb
I used to lie, I used to cheat
I used to lie, cheat and step on people's feet
I used to lie and cheat, lie and cheat and step on people's feet
Now I'm standing on this corner, salvation is my beat
That's why I'm saved, I am saved
People, let me tell you about kingdom come
You know I'm saved, saved
I said I'm gonna preach it 'til you're deaf and dumb
