Just As I Am - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

You said come just as you are

Skin and bones, smell like a bar

You sure you want me there this way

I'm on my way

I'll grab this bottle just in case

That I'm too ashamed to pray

I'm bringing this burden to you now

Yeah the prodigal son returns the only way that I know how, the only way that i know how

Gonna drive my steel horses down to the altar, put my hands on the tank and pray

Lord I ain't got much to offer

I ain't trying to die this way

So may this bottle be the body, and this Burden be the blood, if I pour it out will you take my offer

And give me the strength to never pick it up

Here I stand, just as I am

You know most folks don't understand

That I'm talking about pouring out my best friend

Damn

It sounds so sad but that's how it is

And that's why it's gotta end

Lord I've tried it by myself

Forget my pride, I need your help

Gonna drive my steel horses down to the altar, put my hands on the tank and pray

Lord I ain't got much to offer

I ain't trying to die this way

So may this bottle be the body, and this Burden be the blood, if I pour it out will you take my offer

And give me the strength to never pick it up

Here I stand, just as I am

Whoa

So fill that river full of tears and whiskey, blood I've spilled and the wars I've waged

The thousand love lost heart broke memories, the scars on my heart, and the skin I wearing

And raise me up

A brand new man

So I can face this world just as I am

You said come just as you are

Skin and bones, and broken heart

You kept your word and here I stand

Born again

Just as I am
