Petra - Backslidin' Blues lyrics

Words and music by Bob Hartman

Please tell me what makes me feel this way

I've been down to the bottom and I don't want to stay

Tell me what can I do

To get back to You?

I got the blues

Those backslidin' blues

I can see it, I've been on the wrong road

And I'm too tired to carry such a heavy load

Satan's marking me now

I can't take it no more

I got the blues

Those backslidin' blues

Have mercy, take me back once again

I'll never be perfect and I sure haven't been

I know that you will

But you know that until

I got the blues

Those blackslidin' blues
