(Words & music by Leiber - Stoller)
I wanna soothe my my heartI wanna ease my mind
I wanna move my shoes and see what I can find
I wanna stand up tall and open up my eyes
I wanna reach out my hand until I touch the skies
I was a poor lost lamb in a deep dark hole
But now I ve found that light I m gonna save my soul
I used to drinkI used to smoke
I used to smokedrink and dance the hoochy-coo
I used to smoke and drinksmoke and drink and dance the hoochy-coo
Oh yeh! And now I m standing on thius corner praying for me and you

I-I-I That s why I m saved I m saved
