"Get Right With God" - Lucinda Williams

Used by kind permission of "UMG." Please buy lots of Lucinda Williams albums because, after all, she's the closest thing to a female Bob Dylan there's ever been. Need I say more?

I would risk the serpent's bite
I would dance around with seven
I would kiss the diamond back
If I knew it would get me to heaven

(Chorus:)
'Cause I want to get right with God
Yes, you know you got to get right with God

I would burn the soles of my feet
Burn the palms of both my hands
If I could learn and be complete
If I could walk righteously again

I would sleep on a bed of nails
'Till my back was torn and bleeding
In the deep darkness of Hell
The Damascus of my meeting

I asked God about his plan
To save us all from Satan's slaughter
If I give up one of my lambs
Will you take me as one of your daughters?

Love her voice, been searching music from the movie "Little Chenier", awesome movie. But couldn't find who was singing some of the music. I've finally found out!! Had music from her awhile back and lost the CD, cool artisit.

Bob Dylan couldn't carry her amps....

She IS good. Haven't heard this one in a while. Some of her earliest previously unreleased material shows the roots. Thanks for one of the spookiest tunes around.

@casman328 so quit arguing about which invisible sky daddy is the real one and just love each other

[casman328]

all religion is equally bullsh*t

It's good to see so many rational and spiritual people calmly discussing their beliefs.
