I know of sin by the things momma prayed
I know of heaven by the line at its gate
I know of truth and America's way
So come drink the water if you want to be saved

Don't drink the water if it's not from my stream
It's all still water if it's not flowing free
Don't drink the water at the watering hole
Cause if you ain't got money, it can't save your soul

(Chorus)
And all God's people said amen
And all God's people said amen

I know of sin by the things momma prayed
I know of heaven by the line at its gate
I know of truth and America's way
So come drink the water if you want to be saved

(Chorus)

Nobody prays unless they lose a son
Don't believe in God till a war's to be won
I know of truth by the lies I've been told
The biggest one is that I'm not growing old

And its not a sin if it don't make me cry
He's not the devil less there’s fire in his eye
It ain’t a ghost if it don’t speak in tongue
It ain’t a victory till the battles been won

(Chorus)
