watchin' over me when i was high
holdin' my hand and wipin' my eye
watchin' me cheat
watchin' me lie
oh watchin' over me
lookin' back over on the damage i done
made no kind of plan to be carryin' on
thought i might ought to been dead and gone
i said oh the damage done
how'm i gonna pay that debt i owe
big red jesus on the radio
down on my knees after the show
i said oh the debt i owe
i learned my lesson again
well
i learned my lesson again
only one way to surrender
learned my lesson again
got to return it to sender
leave a little light in the window
got to remember my friend
guess i got to say it's a lovely day
nice enough to know it could ever be so
ready man
steady man
here i'm gonna go
i said
oh
the lovely day
