Salvation

Grew up in the south
Had 27 teeth inside my mouth
A stubborn man, I tried to use it well
And just one secret I could never tell

Keep me company if I go crazy
Light the candle in my mind
When I'm shivering inside
You're the voice inside my head
When I get scared and cannot speak
An unreasonably weak
Salvation

People turn their heads
People turn their heads

My mississippi kin
Said I could never fail if I don't try to win
In these uncertain times we worry everyday
And deep inside of us the worry has its way

Doesn't this place sometimes feel like a circus?
I'm a pendulum to you and it makes me nervous
Dread the moment when I try
To catch your hand as you go by
If I should slip and let you fall
Salvation

People turn their heads
People turn their heads
