Back on My Knees

Swore I'd get up and leave

Sold my truck to pay the money that I owed you
Changed my number, told my mama that I'm through
Ninety days and I was doing fine
Went to meetings, got my head on right
Threw your sweater in the Goodwill bin
Told the boys I'm never going back again
Then your name lit up at a quarter after nine
Just a "hey" and a heart on the line
And my thumb was moving faster than my mind
Yeah, my thumb was moving faster than my mind

I know better, Lord, I know better
Mama raised me better than this
I know better, Lord, I know better
Still I answer every time you call

Now I'm back on my knees
Back on my knees for you
Swore I'd get up and leave
Now I'm back on my knees

(Back on my knees, back on my knees)
Lord, I'm back on my knees

Friends keep saying that I'm looking kinda thin
You keep saying come on over, let me in
I lock the door and then I go and find the key
It ain't the whiskey, baby, it's just you and me
Every promise that I make, I make it twice
Every morning I'm a man who takes advice
Every night I'm on your porch step once again
Like a dog that knows the road back to the pen
I don't want to be the fool that you can call
But I'd rather be your fool than not at all

I know better, Lord, I know better
Mama raised me better than this
I know better, Lord, I know better
Still I answer every time you call

Now I'm back on my knees
Back on my knees for you
Swore I'd get up and leave
Now I'm back on my knees

Somebody pray for me
'Cause I can't pray for me
Somebody pray for me
I can't pray for me
Somebody pray for me
'Cause I don't want to leave
'Cause I don't want to leave

Now I'm back on my knees
Back on my knees for you
Swore I'd get up and leave
Now I'm back on my knees
