Well, the rain was a-failin'
And the ground turned to mud
I was watching all the people [bad word] from the flood
So I started to pray
Though I ain't no prayin' man
For the lord [bad word] a helpin'
Knowing he'd understand

Deliver your children to the good good life
Give'em peace and shelter and a fork and knife
Shine a light in the morning and a light at night
And if a thing goes wrong you'd better make it right

Well, I had me a woman
She was good and clean
She spent all day with the washing machine
But when [bad word] to lovin'
She was never around
She was out getting dirty
All over town

Deliver your children to the good good life
Give'em peace and shelter and a fork and knife
Shine a light in the morning and a light at night
And if a thing goes wrong you'd better make it right

Well, I was low on money
And my [bad word] broke down
I was on my way to the lost and found
So I took it to a dealer
I said make [bad word] 
Well, I ain't got no money
But I got me a gun

I said you robbed me before
So I'm robbing you back
And if it don't put you straight
It'll put you on the right track
Well, I ain't no devil and I ain't no saint
But I can tell a dealer by the colour of his paint

Deliver your children to the good good life
Give'em peace and shelter and a fork and knife
Shine a light in the morning and a light at night
And if a thing goes wrong you'd better make it right

If you want good eggs
You gotta feed that hen
And if you wanna hear some more
Well, I'll sing it again
