Sunday mornin', ten A.M. My mouth is dry and my blood's runnin' thin I know where I need to be And I promise you I'll be on that pew next week But I can't remember feelin' quite this bad before Bear with me Lord I've got a good woman and Lord she's tryin' She's doin' her best to help me see the light Before too long, I swear, I'll come around 'Cause I don't wanna let either of you down Give her the strength to stand by me and not walk out the door Bear with me Lord I remember Mama tellin' me back in my younger days No matter how low down I was you'd love me anyway The Devil's got me now, but someday I'll be yours Bear with me Lord Now she'll be back, a little after twelve So I'm gonna clean up now and try to compose myself Thanks for listenin', we'll talk again It's good to know you'll always be my friend And someday I'll live up to what you put me down here for Bear with me Lord Bear with me Lord Might take me a little while
