Street Corner Preacher Amos Lee

He got a new mercy a new grace
Street corner preacher with the angry face
He got two years off for good behavior
Back in the neighborhood working for the savior

There's two old ladies and a junkie noddin' out
He can see for sure that his work is cut out
Though he walks through the shadows
He won't fear his neighbor
Back in the neighborhood
Working for the savior

[Chorus:]
Bau, bau
Put it on back
Ah put it in
Ah bau bau
Put it ooh bop
Ah put it in
Ah bau bau
Put it ooh bop
Ah put it in
Ah, bau bau
Ya ya

[Verse 2:]
Well he understands
The need for livin it large
But it's hard to get a job
With a felony charge
Now he's working in a hospital
Washin dishes
Walking thru the fields
To the lost inhibitions
There is death, every breath
A new benediction
To save the liver
From a waking death is his conviction
The eyes of man
Well he seeks no favor
Back in the neighborhood
Workin for the savior
