Lyrics I'd Rather Be Alone - Eli "Paperboy" Reed

I'd Rather Be Alone

Yes, I’d rather be alone in this world of sin
Than surround myself with sinners that won’t be safe
Folks sometime ask me why I steal off all alone
And why when there out in the street do I stay home
I tell 'em I got all I need to keep me company
And if they would just step in the light I know they would see
That I’d rather be alone in this world of sin
Than surround myself with sinners that won’t be safe
Yes, I’d rather be alone in this world of sin
Than surround myself with sinners that won’t be safe
Listen
The world can be a lonely place for a faithful man
When people hear the words of prayer they don’t understand
I just need one man to hear my voice
And I know when I rise up to sing
I made my choice
That I’d rather be alone in this world of sin
Than surround myself with sinners that won’t be safe
Yes, I’d rather be alone in this world of sin
Than surround myself with sinners that won’t be safe
Yes, I’d rather be alone in this world of sin
Than surround myself with sinners that won’t be safe
