Dear Lord written and recorded back in 2006.

Dear lord, where are you tonight?

I’ve been so long in the valley

I forgot what green pastures were like

Dear lord, the devil’s at my back

I can feel him up behind me

Even though I run with all my might

Dear lord, won’t take this cup from me if you please

I’ve got a mouth full of ashes

And sure could use something cool to drink

Dear lord, please don’t fail me now

Dear lord, please don’t leave me now

I’ve got no father, got no mother

Got no sister, got no brother

Got no friend, got no lover

Tell me that you haven’t gone

And left me here alone, dear lord
