Well I ain't been baptized
I ain't got no church
No friend in Jesus
And what makes matters worse
I've lost myself
Into the dark
Scared and alone
With no love in my heart

Each day of sorrow
Brings me closer to goodbye
If I weren't so afraid
I'd lay down and die

I guard it so closely
What I feel in my soul
And when I received love
I just let it go
And I called out for help
I found myself alone
Did I believe anything?
I don't know

Each day of sorrow
Brings me closer to goodbye
If I weren't so afraid
I'd lay down and die

So all of you angels
Don't waste your words
Dog-gone my soul
I aint' no good

This life is too much trouble
For a fellow like me
If I had something to give you
I'd give it to you for free

Each day of sorrow
Brings you closer to goodbye
If I weren't so afraid
I'd lay down and die

Well I ain't been baptized
I ain't got no church
