They say I’m just a heathen girl but your hymns did give me pause
Sitting outside the chapel on the day of the Pentecost
Well it’s not my fear of burning lord that cast my eyes above
It’s who did put the stars in place and who made my mama love
This lonesome little heathen girl, her sorry sin stained dove
I was in the backyard when the savior came to call.
Nights I dream of divine love. It’s not jealous unkind or vain
But I was on a side street when the savior drove down main
Well the neon sun has burned my eyes and liquor stewed my brains
Tempted by earthly pleasures, I’ve let Satan have his way
But I’ve tried to be kind to my fellow man and honest in my way
Cause we’ll all go down together when four horsemen ride our way
Nights I dream of divine love. It’s not jealous unkind or vain
But I was on a side street when the savior drove down main
Nights I dream of divine love. It’s not jealous unkind or vain
But I was on a side street when the savior drove down main
