At the Bottom

Holding my breath not taking a step

The good church has closed it's doors on me

God don't like my dirty feet

Burning the lawn everyone's gone

Ain't no barbeque going on today

I drink my dinner in the shade

Days and days go by

Children laughing still I don't smile at all

Mary's calling to me can't you see what I see

She would never let me down

It's been a long time at the bottom

I spend a lot of time way down there

It's been a long time at the bottom

I don't know how I made it here

Been living a lie my kisses are dry

I got nowhere else left to run

My love is blind deaf and dumb

Heaven can't wait to lock up the gate

Tell me that I never could belong

I had my chance but got it wrong

Days and days go by

Children laughing still I don't smile at all

Mary's calling to me can't you see what I see

She would never let me down

It's been a long time at the bottom

I spend a lot of time way down there

It's been a long time at the bottom

I don't know how I made it here

Mother Mary stay with me don't let me die

You're the only good part left of my trash

God knows I can't change me

I've tried and tried I never meant to make you cry

It's been a long time at the bottom

I spend a lot of time way down there

It's been a long time at the bottom

I don't know how I made it here
