Backslider Lyrics - Best Of: Live From Paradise - The Toadies

Bended knee 

Nine years old 

Waiting for 

Just one word 

I was thinkin' of all the things 

My daddy told me of 

Sin and salvation and 

Manhood and dignity 

All that time 

In the dark 

Just one word

I remember the day I stepped 

Into the water 

My daddy held me in his hands 

And pushed my head under 

And said 

Son I am 

So proud 

Just one word

Backslider 

Well I opened my eyes 

And my daddy held me in his hands 

I looked up through the water 

And thought I saw Jesus and then 

Photos 

Well I threw up my hands 

And I heard, Amen 

And I prayed, sweet Jesus 

Don't let me become a backslider
