Momma taught me right from wrong
Knew every gospel song
Every Sunday I'd sing along
In my cotton dress
With a big smile on
I heard about the words He said
How they wrote em down in red
Man I never will forgetI've been knee deep in holy water
Baptized as a rebel daughter
Lord knows I should know better
Then going down wrong roads
Sometimes I see the world in black and white,
Feel blue where there ain't no light
And shades of grey start clouding up my head
Until I read the words in redI learn the truth will set you free
Find out what real love means
And how to close my eyes to see
The storms roll out and the sunlight beam
I hear the devil start his talking
Messin up my narrow walking
But you can bet he won't be knocking me downI heard about the words he said
How he wrote em down in red
