Been Down Too Long

by Scott H. Biram

on Salem's Wych (2006)

You know most times I can't sleep at night, I just drive the highway up and down
Sometimes I can't bite at all, sometimes i bite off more than I can chew
Sometimes i just sit by the phone at night in pain waiting for the telephone to ring
You know I been up on the hill looking down, I been out in the graveyard
I watched em put my best friend in the ground, Then I washed my feet in blood
My mind is overloaded friends, Sometimes I don't know if I can overcome
But I gotta be strong, I'm gonna tell ya all about it right now
I hope you're listening friends right now
Well all I want in this creation, a good lovin woman and a long vacation
Been coming up so strong, I been down too long. I Been coming up so strong
I been down too long, I gonna spend my life take a stand
Give my lovin friends a hand. Break down every rock I can
Just to make it back to the promised land
Been coming up so strong, I been down too long
I been coming up so strong, I been down too long
Ain't no mountain too high, or no valley too wide
I'm gonna step right over to the other side
Can I get an A-men
Can I get an A-men
Can I get an AAAAA-mmeeeennnn
Well look out devil better step aside, you ain't doing nothing gonna stop my stride(???)
And all you buried of what might come, just follow me to the holy soul
Where we all rejoice and live as one, step right up and get you some
Been coming up so strong, I been down too long. Been coming up so strong, I been down too long
Well strong wind road baby i'm gonna have no fear
Just like that old brick house i'm gonna stay right here
We shall not be moved
Can I get an A-men
Can I get an A-men
Can I get an AAAAA-mmeeeennnn
Do yo uwant salvation, you wanna be free from tribluation, do you need a friend, brother
Come on in. step out my friends stand up again, help me change, you're not alone. that
Long old road, it's a long old road it's a bury way, brothers and sisters, giant sinner
Can you help me pray, can you help me pray right now
Can I get an A-men
Can I get an A-men
Can I get an AAAAA-mmeeeennnn
Well all i want in this creation
Is a good lovin woman and a long vacation
Been coming up so strong, i been down too long
Been coming up so strong, i been down too long
Ain't no mountain too high, or no valley too wide
I'm gonna step right over to the other side
Can I get an A-men
Can I get an A-men
Can I get an AAAAA-mmeeeennnn
