I was raised by the Good Book
Learned to work hard every day.
Taught that if you can't say something good, there's nothing good to say.
Well I caught on pretty early
It's no use to work no harder than you play,
So I guess that's how I ended up this way.
Chorus
Somewhere between raising hell and amazing grace, there's a place
I keep findin' myself.
Well I get a little crazy tryin' to have a little fun, then I end up, back where I started from.
Down on my knees, I pray,
Oh Lord, let me see another day.
Somewhere between raising hell and amazing grace.
I give it everything I have
Try to give more then I take.
For Heaven's sake,
I keep on smilin' no matter what comes my way.
I may be passin' out on Friday nights,
But come Sunday I'll be passin' the collection plate.
Chorus
I know I'm a sinner,
But I've got faith
Oh my good side,
Is what He's gonna see.
When I'm standin' at them Pearly Gates
He'll have nothin',
But mercy for me.
Chorus
