G C Some folks jump up and down all night and D-A-N-C-E D G While others go to church to wear their brand new H-A-T C And on their face they put great gobs of P-A-I-N-T D G And then they'll have the nerve to say they're S-A-V-E-D [Chorus] C It's G-L-O-R-Y to know I'm S-A-V-E-D D C G I'm H-A-P-P-Y because I'm F-R-double E C I once was B-O-U-N-D in the chains of S-I-N D G But it's V-I-C-T-O-R-Y to know I've Christ within C I know a man, I think his name is B-R-O-W-N D G He prays for prohibition and then he drinks his G-I-N C He helps to put the poison in his neighbor's C-U-P D G And then he'll have the nerve to say he's S-A-V-E-D (chorus) C There are some girls in our town who are so N-I-C-E D G They wear their hair in the latest style that's B-O-B-E-D C They go to parties every night, drink W-I-N-E D G And then they'll have the nerve to say they're S-A-V-E-D (chorus) C I've seen some boys lean back and puff their S-M-O-K-E D G While others chew and spit out all their J-U-I-C-E C They hang around on corners and drink their P-O-P D G And then they'll have the brass to say they're S-A-V-E-D (chorus)
