I used to smoke, I used to drink
I used to smoke, and drink
And dance the bugaloo
I used to smoke and drink
Smoke and drink and dance the bugaloo, yes I did
But now I'm standin' on these corners
Prayin' for me and you, yes I am

(That's why) I'm saved, I'm saved
People let me tell you 'bout kingdom come
I'm saved, (I said) I'm saved
How can I preach until you're deaf and dumb
I'm in that soul sayin' army
Beatin' on my big bass drum, yes I am

I used to cuss and I used to fuss
I used to cuss, fuss and boogie all night long
I used to cuss and fuss
Cuss and fuss and boogie all night long
You know I did
But now I'm standin' on this corner
I know right from wrong, yes I did

(That's why) I'm saved, I'm saved
People let me tell you 'bout kingdom come
I'm saved, (I said) I'm saved
How can I preach until you're deaf and dumb
I'm in that soul sayin' army
Beatin' on my big bass drum, yes I am
