Backslider

Toadies

Bended knee 
Nine years old 
Waitin' for... 
Just one word! 

I was thinkin' of all the things 
My daddy told me of 
Sin and salvation and 
Manhood and dignity... 

All that time 
In the dark 
Just one word... 
Backslider! 

I remember the day I stepped 
Into the water 
My daddy held me in his hands 
And pushed my head under 
And said... 

Son I am 
So proud. 
Just one word... 
Backslider! 

Well I opened my eyes 
And my daddy held me in his hands 
I looked up through the water 
And thought I saw Jesus, and then... 

Well I threw up my hands! 
And I heard, Amen! 
And I prayed, sweet Jesus 
Don't let me become a backslider!
