Title: Lord Don't Take Me
Post by: Mr. Mom on July 31, 2017, 07:16:16 PM

Just a fun little project from over at 50/90... Tim supplied all the music and vocals.

LORD DON’T TAKE ME
©2017 John Scunziano/Tim Conway

When the hammer falls, and the good lord calls
I sure hope I have… caller I.D.
But if I'm not there, leave a message where
I can get ahold… of thee

I need extra time, a little bread and wine
To confess the things… I've done
Yes I liked to drink, I pushed it to the brink
Never tried to hurt… anyone

So I'm asking just this once....

Lord don't take me lightly, when I say "Walk in my shoes"
Lord don't take me lightly, my best friend was once a Jew
Lord don't take me lightly, so much further I can fall
Lord don't take me lightly, please don't take me at all...

If it's judgement day, I just wanna say
Please excuse my dark… desires
I hope it don't hurt much, when I feel your touch
As my earthly time… expires

I was born to run, and have a little fun
Was I really bad… my friend?
Here's my song and dance - if I still have a chance
Can I get a big… AMEN...

Lord don't take me lightly, when I say Walk in my shoes
Lord don't take me lightly, my best friend was once a Jew
Lord don't take me lightly, so much further I can fall
Lord don't take me lightly... please don't take me at all...

Ohhh…
Lord don't take me lightly
I promise to pray nightly
If you just uninvite me
To your home...

Thanks Paul, and thanks for always being available here at MCS while "life" has some of us in kind of a hit-and-miss mode. I like to think of you as the MCS "In-House" lyricist, and you know I'm one of your biggest fans. :)

Great lyrics, John!

And a really nice funny country song... mix sounds muffled, though...
