Salvation

Grew up in the south
 Had 27 teeth inside my mouth
 A stubborn man, I tried to use it well
 And just one secret I could never tell
 Keep me company if I go crazy
 Light the candle in my mind
 When I'm shivering inside
 You're the voice inside my head
 When I get scared and cannot speak
 An unreasonably weak
 Salvation
 People turn their heads
 People turn their heads
 My mississippi kin
 Said I could never fail if I don't try to win
 In these uncertain times we worry everyday
 And deep inside of us the worry has its way
 Doesn't this place sometimes feel like a circus?
 I'm a pendulum to you and it makes me nervous
 Dread the moment when I try
 To catch your hand as you go by
 If I should slip and let you fall
 Salvation
 People turn their heads
 People turn their heads
