I Don't Want to Get Adjusted

by Iris DeMent

on Lifeline (2004)

[Intro]
(To This World)

[Verse 1]
In this world we have our trials
Sometimes lonesome, sometimes blue
But the hope of life eternal
Makes all old hopes brand new

[Chorus]
And I don't want to get adjusted to this world, to this world
I've got a home so much better
And I'm going to go there sooner or later
And I don't want to get adjusted to this world, to this world

[Verse 2]
Lord, I'm growing old and weary
And there's no place that feels like home
Saviour come
To where I

[Chorus]

[Outro]
And I don't want to get adjusted to this world, to this world
