Lyrics Saved - The Commitments

Saved

I used to smoke, I used to drink
I used to smoke, drink and dance the hoochie-coo
I used to smoke and drink
Smoke and drink and dance the hoochie-coo, oh yeah
But now I’m standing on this corner
Praying for me and you
That’s why I’m saved, saved
I’m saved, saved
People, let me tell you 'bout a kingdom come
You know, I’m saved, saved
I’m saved, saved
I can preach until you’re deaf and dumb
I’m in that soul saving army
Beating on that big bass drum, oh yeah
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
But now, I’m standing on this corner
I know right from wrong
That’s why I’m saved, saved
I’m saved, saved
People, let me tell you 'bout a kingdom come
You know, I’m saved, saved
I’m saved, saved
I can preach until you’re deaf and dumb
I’m in that soul saving army
Beating on that big bass drum, oh yeah
I used to lie, lie
I used to cheat, cheat
I used to lie, lie, cheat, cheat and step on people’s feet
I used to lie and cheat
Lie and cheat and step on people’s feet, oh yeah
But now I’m stepping on the glory
Salvation is my beat, oh yeah
Because I’m saved, saved
I’m saved, saved
People, let me tell you about a kingdom come
You know, I’m saved, saved
Oh, saved, saved
I can preach until you’re deaf and dumb
I’m in that soul saving army
Beating on that big bass drum, oh yeah
That’s why I’m saved, saved
I’m saved, saved
I’m saved, saved
I’m saved, saved
Saved
Saved
