Oh, Lord, I wanna Lay Me Down
Sweet Jesus, Lay Me Down
Lay Me Down, Jesus Lay Me Down
Oh, Lord, I gotta Lay Me Down
And find some peace of mind
I'll tell Ya, Lord, I've had enough
Of payin' for my crime
Ya know I've had it rough
Lord, I've done my time
Come on and Lay Me Down
Sweet Jesus, Lay Me Down
Have Mercy, Jesus, Lay Me Down
Lord, I'm tired, I'm weary ~ In need of sleep
This world gets old now ~ And, Lord, Ya know I'm in too deep
Oh, Lord, Ya gotta Lay Me Down
Sweet Jesus, Lay Me Down
Lay Me Down, Jesus, Lay Me Down
Oh, Lord, Ya gotta Lay Me Down
And find some peace of mind
Ya know that I've been
Knocked down, beat up, sucked in, thrown out
Payin' for my crime
Ya know I've had enough
Lord, I've done my time
Come on and Lay Me Down
Sweet Jesus, Lay Me Down
Have Mercy, Jesus, Lay Me Down
Lord, the soul is willin' ~ The flesh is weak
Ain?t this price I'm payin' ~ Enough to find the peace I seek
Oh, Lord, Ya gotta Lay Me Down
Sweet Jesus, Lay Me Down
Lay Me Down, Jesus, Lay Me Down
Oh, Lord, Ya gotta Lay Me Down
And find some peace of mind
Ya know I've been
Knocked down, beat up, sucked in, thrown out
Payin' for my crime
Ya know I've had enough
Lord, I've done my time
Come on and Lay Me Down
Sweet Jesus, Lay Me Down
Have mercy, Jesus, Lay Me Down
Have mercy, Jesus, Lay Me Down
Lord, have mercy, Jesus, Lay Me Down
