All I Ever Wanted

had my suitcase packed for a trip to hell

when the Lord played a song on an old church bell

the devil just stood there tappin' his tow, saying

"hurry up girl, we gotta go"

well did you pack your evil ways? and all your wilder days?

you spent your money on saving your sins

there's a checkered little past i kept 'em all in

and when your interest multiplies

everything good in you dies

but i never knew a god but the one on high

never had a picture of Jesus Christ

only thing i ever really took in vain was a

Sunday drive in the restful rain

honored mama's words and daddy's hands

never hurt anybody, never wore a wedding band

might've stole a kiss but i never told a lie

and all i ever wanted was a real good time

the song he played was a hymn i'd heard

from a backslider pew in a Nazarene church

when that devil was ready to go i said

wait a minute boy, don't you know

i packed my evil ways underneath my wilder days

and i spent my money on saving my sins

there's a checkered little past that i kept 'em all in

but when my interest multiplied

well i lived myself one hell of a life
