The Del-Lords Me and the Lord Blues lyrics

I woke up this morning
And I says to God, “I know
You're gonna hit me if you wanna hit me
But do ya gotta hit so hard?”

No food on my table
Too much on my plate
I bust my brains, back and as for nothing
Please tell me, Lord, this is all a mistake

Where is my God of Mercy?
Not of Vengeance but of Love
Hey God, I'm livin' west of Jersey
Push finally came to shove

Every night
I get a ticket to ride
Into the light
On the other side
And I hear freedom
I smell justice
I taste sunshine

In my eye
Hey God, this job is killin' me
Where is the God of my Fathers?
I can't wait around here all day
Nobody cares, nobody bothers

Help me roll the stone away

I get a ticket to ride
Into the light
On the other side
And I hear freedom
I smell justice
I taste sunshine
In my eyes
Hey God, this job is killin' me

Maybe I should just stay here, Lord
Spend the rest of my life in bed
I could probably make it to the end of the year, Lord
Or, am I already dead

Every night
I get a ticket to ride
Into the light
On the other side
And I hear freedom
I smell justice
I taste sunshine
In my eyes
Hey God, this job is killin' me
