Saved Lyrics by Judy Henske

1966

[Verse 1]
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
Whoa, yeah
But now I'm standin' on this corner
Prayin' for a-me and you
Ah, hah

[Chorus]
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-savin' army
Beatin' on that big a-bass drum
Whoa, yeah

[Verse 2]
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
Wah, hah
But now I'm standin' on this corner
Ah, I know right-a from wrong
Uh, huh

[Chorus]
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-savin' army
Beatin' on that big a-bass drum
Whoa, yeah

[Verse 3]
I used to lie, I used to cheat
I used to lie, cheat, and step on peoples' feet
I used to lie and cheat
Lie and cheat and step on peoples feet
Oh, yeah
But now I'm steppin' on the glory
Salvation is my beat
Whoa, yeah

[Chorus]
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-savin' army
Beatin' on that big a-bass drum
Whoa, yeah
