Lyrics
I have broken many promises
Thrown cautions to the wind
Rebelled in my youth but here you come again
You are the message in the bottle
A light that never dims
And though I let you down
You’ll always be my friend
Put my faith in fairy tales
Believe what I was told
I’ve watched the holy eat their own
Suck the meat lick the bone
There is only one voice
My universal guide
You’ve always been beside me
Even when I wanted to die
I will never forget
I will have no regrets
I don’t want to cheat anyone
Don’t want to steal from anyone
Don’t want to lie
Don’t want to quit
Don’t want to leave any doubt
Step on anyone
Hurt anyone
Curse anyone
Sometimes I itch and squirm
To crawl out of my skin
You put your arm around me
Like the air that I take in
Won’t push no needle in my arm
Or bathe in gasoline
Never swear in Jesus name
Or hide behind the pain
