(GUITAR INTRO)
I've bin living like a dog for the last four years
and the maggots bin eating at my bones
I've bin burning up my body with drinking
and I can't leave them women alone
every man gets sick deep down when he looks inside himself
so he turns toward the outside
just to disregard his hell
but I've found salvation, the King has called me home
I know where I'm going now, the King has called me home
and I don't need no one now, the King has called me home
I know where I'm going now, the King has called me home
(HARP SOLO)
when the only guts and brains that you've got
are the ones that are stuck to your boot
and you're riding like hell through Virginny
just to find somebody to shoot
your start to feel disgusted about the bones you busted
and the sight of leaking spleens
well my mind got numb, so I put down my gun
and turned to the Nazarene
I've found salvation, the King has called me home
I know where I'm going now, the King has called me home
and I don't need no one now, the King has called me home
I know where I'm going now, the King has called me home
I've found salvation, the King has called me home
I know where I'm going now, the King has called me home
and I don't need no one now, the King has called me home
I know where I'm going now, the King has called me home
I've found salvation, the King has called me home
