I'm high on the hog
Of this freewill baptist church
Somewhere above Biloxi
Down here in the delta
I've spent more days a runnin'
Hidin' and more runnin'
Looking for the answers
And trying to find myself some shelter
Well I'm staring at the ceiling
Of Old Sapwood and Ten
Takes me back to basics, y'all
I got to turn myself on in
Yes I turn myself in
Turn myself in
A lifetime of sin
It's time to repent
Ain't going back to that hellhole that I've been living in
I'm gonna hand my soul back over
And turn myself on in, Yes
Well I never robbed that farmer
Up in Franklin county
Well I was lookin for some work
He was lookin someone to blame
I still may hear soul guilty
Cause I never saw the signs
I never heard the answers
That's my ball and chain
I climbed up on that pew
Fell right down again
That cold, hard,??? saved me y'all
I got to turn myself on in
Yes I turn myself in
Turn myself in
Well that lifetime of sin
It's time to repent
Ain't going back to that hellhole that I've been living in
I'm gonna hand my soul back over
And turn myself on in
I don't want to ever see that warden
He's just as guilty as me
I hope one day he'll find this church
And get down on his knees
And maybe he'll turn himself in
Turn himself in
Well that lifetime of sin
It's time to repent
Ain't going back to that hellhole I've been living in
I'm gonna hand my soul back over
Turn myself on in
Yes, I'm gonna hand my soul back over
Turn myself on in
Yes, I'm gonna hand my soul back over
Turn myself on in
