Lyrics: Yes
 
I used to smoke
I used to drink
I used to smoke, drink and dance the hoochie-coo
 
I used to smoke and drink, smoke and drink and dance the hoochie-coo
Yes, I did
But now I'm standing on this corner
Praying for me and you
 
I'm saved
Saved
People, let me tell you about the Kingdom come
You know I'm saved
Yes, I am
I'm gonna preach it 'til you're deaf and dumb
I'm in that soul-savin' army
Beatin' on that big a-bass drum
 
I used to cuss
I used to fuss
I used to cuss, fuss and boogie all night long
I used to cuss and fuss, cuss and fuss and boogie all night long
Yes, I did
But now I'm standing on this corner
And I know right from wrong
 
I'm saved
Saved
People, let me tell you about the Kingdom come
You know I'm saved
Yes, I am
I'm gonna preach it 'til you're deaf and dumb
I'm in that soul-savin' army
Beatin' on that big a-bass drum
One more thing I wanna say
 
I used to lie
Cheat
Lie, cheat, step on people's feet
I used to lie and cheat, lie and cheat and step on people's feet
Yes, I did
But now I'm steppin' on the glory
Salvation is my beat
 
I'm saved
Saved
People, let me tell you about the Kingdom come
You know I'm saved
Yes, I am
I'm gonna preach it 'til you're deaf and dumb
I'm in that soul-savin' army
Beatin' on that big a-bass drum
Come on...
 
I'm saved
Saved
People, let me tell you about the Kingdom come
You know I'm saved
Yes, I am
I'm gonna preach it 'til you're deaf and dumb
I'm in that soul-savin' army
Beatin' on that big a-bass drum
 
I'm in that soul-savin' army
Beatin' on that big a-bass drum
