Song Lyrics:

Well I've never been a winner, but I wonder if
I wasn't myself. Because I've never been a
sinner, and I never really felt like my own self.
I remember days of infamy, I remember my
friends and they remember me. I guess I need
a vision 'cause I never really listen to advice

Well I geuss I need a vision 'cause I never
really listen to advice. My father was a
preacher and my mother was a diligent wife.
I grew up with the choir singin'. I grew up
straight but I raised up swingin'. By my own
estimation I'm a drifter destination unknown.

And it's all I can do to stand up. I'm really
tired but I raise my head and I step up.

By my own estimation I'm a drifter
destination unknown. I've never lived a life
that I'm ashamed to claim as my own.
Call it sin. Call it salvation. Whichever one
it is you konw I found elation. Now I'm high
steppin' honey, like a running gun runnin'
from the law.

Now I'm high steppin' honey, like a running
gun runnin' from the law. I've never been
afraid of anyone or anything I ever saw.
A fist came up and cracked my smile.
And then a man went down and now he's
sleeping for awhile. He's got a dirt bed baby,
only baby he ain't never gettin' up.
He's got a dirt bed baby, only baby he ain't
never gettin' up. I had a dog named Moses.
Moses was a diamond in the rough. For 14
years he walked my side, walked this world,
that's where he lived and died. He was meaner
than hell and he loved me well indeed.

Call it sin. Call it salvation. Whichever one
it is you konw I found elation. Now I'm high
steppin' honey, like a running gun runnin'
from the law.
