Lyrics:

Written by Lucinda Williams I would risk the serpent's bite I would dance around with seven I would kiss the diamond back If I knew it would get me to heaven Chorus: 'Cause I want to get right with God Yes, you know you got to get right with God I would burn the soles of my feet Burn the palms of both my hands If I could learn and be complete If I could walk righteously again I would sleep on a bed of nails 'Till my back was torn and bleeding In the deep darkness of Hell The Damascus of my meeting I asked God about his plan To save us all from Satan's slaughter If I give up one of my lambs Will you take me as one of your daughters?
