Baptized by Fire Lyrics

You go to church for healin'
Sunday morning right on time
You go for salvation
But I go for the wine
Come forward take a knee
Repent of all my crimes
They splash me with holy water
But it burns me every time
Save your own soul,
It's much too late for mine
Lord knows I was baptized by fire

How can I place my faith
In a book I've never read?
How can I live forever
When I'm already dead?
You look so nice just sittin' there
Among the town's elite
The only church suit I'll ever own
Will be used to bury me
Save your own soul...

Liars, thieves and hypocrites
More sins that no one knows
Those are just parishioners
Sitting in the first three rows
So pass me that collection plate
So I can find some change
If I'm gonna go to hell
I'll need money for the train

Save your own soul...
Can't you see that man in red
Standing outside my door?
I am lost yeah, and that's a fact
But I will be blind no more

I'm not rich, or even close
Can't afford morality
Jesus saves, while you all spend
The church knows that god ain't free
So on Sunday you can find me
At my church down at McGuinn's
With my pastor, Johnnie Walker
Forgettin' all my sins

Save your own soul...
