[Verse 1]
I spent forty days and forty nights in the county jail
I did my time and now I'm finally skippin’ bail
I went like a thief in the night, down to the train yard
Then I hopped on a freight that was headed to LA and I landed on the Boulevard

[Chorus]
Singin' oh Lord, oh Lord, oh Lord
Got me down this road
Oh Lord, oh Lord, oh Lord
Please take me home
Singin' oh Lord, oh Lord, oh Lord
Got me down this road
Oh Lord, oh Lord, oh Lord
Get me through this desert storm

[Post-Chorus]
I need somethin’, somethin' to believe
I need somethin', somethin' greater than me
Even if I can't see, I still wanna believe
Beliеve in somethin', somethin' grеater than me

[Verse 2]
I spent forty days and forty nights on the Boulevard
I was just another freak playin' music on the street and tryna a rock star
I was drinkin’ on the corner when I met a shady man
He said, "Come to Tijuana, help me smuggle marijuana
If you wanna, I could use a hand"
[Chorus]
Singin’ oh Lord, oh Lord, oh Lord
Got me down this road
Oh Lord, oh Lord, oh Lord
Please take me home
Singin' oh Lord, oh Lord, oh Lord
Got me down this road
Oh Lord, oh Lord, oh Lord
Get me through this desert storm

[Post-Chorus]
I need somethin’, somethin' to believe
I need somethin', somethin' greater than me
Even if I can’t see, I still wanna believe
Believe in somethin', somethin' greater than me

[Bridge]
Oh Lord, oh Lord, oh Lord
Oh Lord, oh Lord, oh Lord
Oh Lord, oh Lord, oh Lord
Oh Lord, oh Lord, oh Lord

[Hook]
I need somethin', somethin' to believe
I need somethin', somethin' greater than me
Even if I can't see, I still wanna believe
Believe in somethin', somethin' greater than me
[Outro]
I need somethin'
I need somethin'
I need somethin'
I need somethin'
