Baby, baby, I understand your act
I saw you, honey slidin' off the track
Backslidin' Ain't no way to be
Slackin' and backslidin'
Make you like a refugee
Who givin' you the food
Who givin' you the air
Who told ya you could do
just like you do without care
Backslidin'
Just ain't no way to be
Shuckin' and jivin' got you livin in misery
God says it's plain His word ain't gonna change
But if you think He don't know where you are
You downright deranged
Oh backslider
You out there livin' like a shipwreck in the sea
The place you need to anchor
is right on your bended knees
I saw you, honey slidin' off the track
Backslidin' Ain't no way to be
Slackin' and backslidin'
Make you like a refugee
Who givin' you the food
Who givin' you the air
Who told ya you could do
just like you do without care
Backslidin'
Just ain't no way to be
Shuckin' and jivin' got you livin in misery
God says it's plain His word ain't gonna change
But if you think He don't know where you are
You downright deranged
Oh backslider
You out there livin' like a shipwreck in the sea
The place you need to anchor
is right on your bended knees
