Deliver Your Children Wings

[Verse 1]
Well, the rain was a-failing, and the ground turned to mud
I was watching all the people running from the flood
So I started to praying, though I ain't no praying man
For the Lord to come-a-helping, knowing He'd understand

[Chorus]
Deliver your children to the good good life
Give 'em peace and shelter and a fork and knife
Shine a light in the morning and a light at night
And if a thing goes wrong, you'd better make it right

[Verse 2]
Well, I had me a woman, she was good and clean
She spent all the day with the washing machine
But when it come to loving, she was never around
She was out getting dirty all over town

[Chorus]
Deliver your children to the good good life
Give 'em peace and shelter and a fork and knife
Shine a light in the morning and a light at night
And if a thing goes wrong, you'd better make it right

[Verse 3]
Well, I was low on money, and my truck broke down
I was on my way to the lost and found
So I took it to a dealer, I said "make it run"
Well, I ain't got no money, but I got me a gun
