The Bridge City Sinners
Through and Through
Don't say no prayers for me
'Cause I'm exactly where I want to be
Yeah I'm a sinner through and through
And I'll be waitin' in Hell for you
I lept from the edge of the bridge
To see if I could fly
And when I think of the life I could've had
I hang my head and cry
When I met that cold, cold water
My bones were broke and I couldn't swim
I met the Devil at the bottom of the creak
And I sold my soul to Him
I went on into the city
To see if I could find
A little solace and some peace of mind
Should've left the deal with the Devil inside
I keep drinking so I can silence
All the voices inside my head
The Lord keeps on torturing me
I am alive though I feel I am dead
Yeah, I'm alive but I wish I was dead
They tried to drag me into the church
They tried to make me drink the holy water
But it was bitter on my lips
It burnt my fingertips
I'd rather choke and die of thirst
Don't say no prayers for me
'Cause I'm exactly where I want to be
Yeah I'm a sinner through and through
And I'll be waitin' in Hell for you
So don't say no prayers for me
'Cause I'm exactly where I want to be
Yeah I'm a sinner through and through
And I'll be waitin' in Hell for you
Yeah, there's a place in Hell for you
