Ain’t for Sale
There's a snake who lies and waits
And his prey is a praying man
Who lies awake with the what to do's
And the taunting you with a taste of that forbidden fruit
Every day's a day to beat the one before
But temptation's knocking at the door
It's 3 am, I ain't sleeping again
I'm pleading with God to fight off what I can't fend
Oh no, I'll be damned if that ole devil's waiting for me for to fail
But this soul of mine it ain't for sale
Dollar signs and dotted lines
Is it worth losing that peace of mind
For the fancy things ?
Are they what they seem
When you can't cut those puppet strings?
Is it really how it oughta be?
It's 3 a.m., I ain't sleeping again
Pleading with God to fight off what I can't fend
Oh Lord, I'll be damned if that ol' devil's waiting for me for to fail
But this soul of mine it ain't for sale
Yeah, go and get behind me, Satan, in the shadow of the valley
Burdened, but I'm certain 'bout that ol' rod and staff that comforts me
A company of angels fightin' tooth and nail again
Lord, forgive me, give me grace and get me through the night
It's 3 a.m., I ain't sleeping again
Pleading with God to fight off what I can't fend
Oh, no I'll be damned if that ole devil's waiting for me for to fail
This soul of mine it ain't for sale
Aw, this soul of mine it ain't for sale
Nah, this soul of mine it ain't for sale
