  I used to smoke, I used to drink
  I used to smoke, and drink
  And dance the bugaloo
  I used to smoke and drink
  Smoke and drink and dance the bugaloo, yes I did
  But now I'm standin' on these corners
  Prayin' for me and you, yes I am.
 
 
  (That's why) I'm saved, I'm saved
  People let me tell you 'bout kingdom come
  I'm saved, (I said) I'm saved
  How can I preach until you're deaf and dumb
  I'm in that soul sayin' army
  Beatin' on my big bass drum, yes I am.
 
 
  I used to cuss and I used to fuss
  I used to cuss, fuss and boogie all night long
  I used to cuss and fuss
  Cuss and fuss and boogie all night long
  You know I did
  But now I'm standin' on this corner
  I know right from wrong, yes I did.
 
 
  (That's why) I'm saved, I'm saved
  People let me tell you 'bout kingdom come
  I'm saved, (I said) I'm saved
  How can I preach until you're deaf and dumb
  I'm in that soul sayin' army
  Beatin' on my big bass drum, yes I am.
 
 
  I used to lie and I used to cheat
  I used to lie and cheat and step on people's feet
  I used to lie and cheat
  Lie and cheat and step on people's feet
  You know that I did
  But now I'm steppin' on to glory
  Salvation is my best, yes it is, because.
 
 
  (That's why) I'm saved, I'm saved
  People let me tell you 'bout kingdom come
  I'm saved, (I said) I'm saved
  How can I preach until you're deaf and dumb
  I'm in that soul sayin' army
  Beatin' on my big bass drum, yes I am.
 
 
  That's why I'm saved, I'm saved
  I'm saved, Lord, have mercy, I am saved
  I'm saved, I'm saved, I am saved
  I'm in that soul savin' army
  Beatin' on my big bass drum, yes I am.
 
 
  I said I'm saved, yes, I'm saved
  Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord, I am saved...
