I was born on the banks off a hot muddy river
The child of one stupid steamy night
Born to roam beneath the sun
What do you think of me, I’m better left alone
Said I met a holy man who said that he knew the way
And he’d like to show me so my life won't go astray
Take my hand child now little boy don’t you be afraid
I’ll take your soul and walk on water
Holyman, ya don’t understand
The cuts on me they run much deeper
Holyman, you righteous man
I’ve been shown the way a thousand times
Not one a keeper
Older man he said I’ll tell you boy
I gotta look away
I wish you would understand
Everybody prays
Let me find my own way Holy man
ya don't understand the cuts on me
they run much deeper Holy man you righteous man
I've been shown the way a thousand times
not one a keeper Not one a keeper
Not one a keeper Not one a keeper
Not one a keeper
