Oh, when I left my mamas home
Left her for dead when I left her all alone
The whores they won`t let me be at night
They can`t replace the warmth I need tonight
Because I`m cold, cold as hell
The lord, He don`t wait for me at night
He knows what I`ve done is wrong and it ain`t right
The devil await me with open arms
And he sways me with his wiles and with his charms
I`m holding on when there`s nothing left to hold onto
Hold on to the sweet hereafter
The fountain from where I drank from as a child
When I was young I was bored and I was wild
Since then I have grown into a man
And I know that I can always stand
But I`m wrong, I`m still a child
Hold on to the sweet hereafter
Hold on to the sweet hereafter
