I Changed To Save You

I would play the blues if I wasn't living so deep in the blues
Atleast give it a try if I still had my guitar
Sold that on eBay at a twenty dollar loss
Never played a note
And the cushions on the couch been lifted so much
I don't bother with them  
All over three nickels I found once
They turned out to be plastic
Fake money
Fake people
Fake laughs
Even God gave up
Moved on building a better world
Streets of gold and no temptation to sin
Everyone smiles and everyone is friends
It must be something cause people are dying to get in

I miss day dreaming
Having hope and reachable goals
Laughing with my best friend
I want to go back to planning ahead
Tired of daily living
Barely making it
I need hope
I need something to believe in
I need a drinking song by Mr. Jones
A cheating song by Hank
Willie and a road song
Followed by Johnny doing a train song

If today's country didn't suck I would move to Nashville
But I hate tight pants and cowboy hats
Wanted to go rock but drugs are labeled as bad these days
And the groupies don't look as hot  Thought about being a rapper
But Eminem took the white guy spot
So Im stuck out in left field with just a microphone and amp
I'm forty I need to make a move
Tired of my parents asking me to move
Come on God...
God?
Yes God
Plug in my mic and start preaching in a way that even makes me believe
To hell with Joel Osteen
Pat I'm taking over the holy land experience
My congregation is going to make me a rich man
Benny Hinn 2.0
Reality TV show that has no truth
Once a legit working man
Now just another conman
Amen
