The King Has Called Me Home: Caleb Lyrics

(GUITAR INTRO)

I've bin living like a dog for the last four years
and the maggots bin eating at my bones

I've bin burning up my body with drinking

and I can't leave them women alone

every man gets sick deep down when he looks inside himself

so he turns toward the outside

just to disregard his hell

but I've found salvation, the King has called me home

I know where I'm going now, the King has called me home

and I don't need no one now, the King has called me home

I know where I'm going now, the King has called me home
(HARP SOLO)

when the only guts and brains that you've got

are the ones that are stuck to your boot

and you're riding like hell through Virginny

just to find somebody to shoot

your start to feel disgusted about the bones you busted

and the sight of leaking spleens

well my mind got numb, so I put down my gun
and turned to the Nazarene

I've found salvation, the King has called me home

I know where I'm going now, the King has called me home

and I don't need no one now, the King has called me home

I know where I'm going now, the King has called me home

I've found salvation, the King has called me home

I know where I'm going now, the King has called me home

and I don't need no one now, the King has called me home

I know where I'm going now, the King has called me home

I've found salvation, the King has called me home
