Sweet Hereafter Lyrics

INTRO: F C/F F C/F F C/F
Oh-oh, when I left my mama's home
Left her for dead, when I left her all alone
And the whores, well they won't let me be at night
They can't replace the warmth I need tonight
'Cause I'm cold, but I'm cold as hell
The lord, he don't wait for me at night
He knows what I've done is wrong and it ain't right
But the devil awaits me with open arms
And he sways me with his wiles and with his charms
'Cause I'm holding on when there's nothing left to hold onto
Hold, hold o-on, to the sweet hereafter
There's a fountain from where I drank from as a child
When I was young, I was bored and I was wild
But since then, well I have grown into a man
And I know that I can always stand
But I'm wrong, but I'm still a child
Hold o-on, to the sweet hereafter
Hold o-on, to the sweet hereafter
