Born Again in You

Hallelujah, I got born again in you

I don't go to church but I go to your kitchen
You pour me the coffee, you ask where I've been
I've been in the ditch, I've been in the back seat
I've been in the county with a borrowed white sheet
I've been every promise my mama let go
I've been every bottle she found in the snow
You never once asked me to be something new
You just set a plate and you let me come through
And I sat at your table like a stranger in town
And you prayed for the both of us out loud

And I don't know why you'd stay
But you stay
And I don't know why you'd wait
But you wait

I was a sinner in a Saturday town
Found every bottom and then I dug down
Then you walked in and you walked me through
Hallelujah, I got born again in you

Born again, born again
Oh, I got born again
Born again in you

My daddy was a preacher, I ran from his rules
I ran through the bars and the fights and the fools
I ran till my knees had the road in the skin
I ran till I couldn't remember where I'd been
You never once told me the man I should be
You just held the door till I wanted to see
Now I'm up before sunrise, I'm fixing the fence
I'm paying the bills and I'm making some sense
I don't know the words to the hymns in the book
But I know every line of the way that you look

And I don't know why you'd stay
But you stay
And I don't know why you'd wait
But you wait

I was a sinner in a Saturday town
Found every bottom and then I dug down
Then you walked in and you walked me through
Hallelujah, I got born again in you

(Hallelujah) I'm alive

(Hallelujah) I'm alive

(Hallelujah) Got a brand new life

(Hallelujah) I'm alive

(Hallelujah) Got a reason tonight

(Hallelujah) I'm alive

I was a sinner in a Saturday town
Found every bottom and then I dug down
Then you walked in and you walked me through
Hallelujah, I got born again in you

Born again, born again
Oh, I got born again
Born again in you
