| I guess I had to find out the hard way
|
| The things that I have come here to learn
|
| Fire of this pleasure it can warm me
|
| But in the end it only burns
|
| He could put me high on a
|
| He could rob me of my shame
|
| He could hold me down under water
|
| Till I could not remember my own name
|
| In my mind I see the house I’m building
|
| In my hands the hammer and the nail
|
| Gonna send my wishes up to glory
|
| Gonna shake that devil off my trail
|
| In my time I’ve done some meanness
|
| Brought the ones I love so much pain
|
| Pride it was eatin' on my hard way
|
| My soul it was rustin' in the rain
|
| And all these sins I am confessing
|
| They still come knocking on my door
|
| But I know better than to answer
|
| I tell them that girl don’t live here anymore
|
| In my mind I see the house I’m building
|
| In my hands the hammer and the nail
|
| Gonna send my wishes up to glory
|
| Gonna shake that devil off my trail
|
| Every livin' thing is calling out to me
|
| The leaves on the trees wave me on
|
| Got a wind to lift me when I’m fallin'
|
| Got a road to put my feet upon
|
| In my mind I see the house I’m building
|
| In my hands the hammer and the nail
|
| Gonna send my wishes up to glory
|
| Gonna shake that devil off my trail
|
| In my mind I see the house I’m building
|
| In my hands the hammer and the nail
|
| Gonna send my wishes up to glory
|
| Gonna shake that devil off my trail
|
| Gonna shake that devil off my trail
|
| Gonna shake that devil off my trail |
