Praying the Dust off My Knees Songtext
von Tony Justice

I can hear those old church bells a ringing
As Sunday morning crashes down
The smell of cheap whiskey
And her sweet perfume
Still lingers around

That old hotel Bible
On that one-night stand
I feel it staring back at me

Making morning confessions
For last night′s transgressions
Praying the dust off my knees

I'm holding on to sin
Like a dying, old friend
The devil is dragging me down
I keep on waiting
With my hand shaking
Afraid I′m too lost to be found


I got an earthly addiction
A spiritual conviction
Even a blind man can see
Making morning confessions
For last night's transgressions
Praying the dust off my knees

As I stand here
And stare in the mirror
At a stranger
With shame on his face

The sinner forsaken
This path I've taken
Asking for mercy and grace
A cold, pale reflection
Far from perfection
Heavenly help′s what I need
I′m making morning confessions
For last night's transgressions
Praying the dust off my knees

I′m holding on to sin
Like a dying, old friend
The devil keeps dragging me down
I keep on waiting
With my hands shaking
Afraid I'm too lost to be found


I got and earthly addiction
A spiritual conviction
Even a blind man can see
I′m making morning confessions
For last night's transgressions
Praying the dust off my knees

Praying that dust off my knees
