You said come just as you are Your skin and bones smell like a bar You say you want me there this way Okay, well I'm on my way I'll grab this bottle just in case I'm just too ashamed to pray Well I'm bringing this problem to you now Yea the prodigal son returns The only way that I know how, the only way that I know how Gonna drive my steel horse down to the alter Put my hands on the tank and pray Lord I ain't got much to offer And I ain't tryin to die this way So may this bottle be the body And this bourbon be the blood If I pour it out will you take my offering Give me the strength to never pick it up Yea here I stand, just as I am You know most folks don't understand That I'm talkin bout pourin out my best friend Damn, it sounds so sad, but that's how it is And that's why it's gotta end Lord I've tried it by myself Forget my pride, I need your help Gonna drive my steel horse down to the alter Put my hands on the tank and pray Lord I ain't got much to offer But I ain't tryin to die this way So may this bottle be the body And this bourbon be the blood If I pour it out will you take my offering Give me the strength to never pick it up Here I stand, just as I am Mmmmmhmmmmmmm So full that river full of tears and whiskey Blood I've spilled and voice I've raised A thousand loved lost heart broke memories Scars on the heart and the skin I'm wearin Raise me up, a brand new man So I can face this world, just as I am You said come just as you are Skin and bones and broken heart You kept your word, and here I stand, Born again, just as I am
