I was raised by the good book learned to work hard every day Thought that if you can't say something good there's nothing good to say And I caught on pretty early it's no use to work no harder than you play So I guess that's how I ended up this way
[Chorus:] Somewhere between raising hell and amazing grace Is a place I keep finding myself Yeah I get a little crazy trying to have a little fun Then I end up back where I started from Down on my knees, I pray Oh Lord let me see another day Somewhere between raising hell and amazing grace
Well I give everything I got, try to give more than I take For Heaven's sake I keep on smiling no matter what comes my way And I may be passin' out on Friday night But come Sunday I'll be passing the collection plate
[Chorus:] Somewhere between raising hell and amazing grace Is a place I keep finding myself Yeah I get a little crazy trying to have a little fun Then I end up back where I started from Down on my knees, I pray Oh Lord let me see another day Somewhere between raising hell and amazing grace
Yeah I know I'm a sinner, but I've got faith Oh my good side is what he's gonna see When I'm standing at them Pearly Gates He'll have nothing but mercy for me
[Chorus:] Somewhere between raising hell and amazing grace Is a place I keep finding myself Yeah I get a little crazy trying to have a little fun Then I end up back where I started from Down on my knees, I pray Oh Lord let me see another day Somewhere between raising hell and amazing grace
