Street Level cover
05. Baby Out Of Wedlock
Album: Street Level
Artist: Larry Norman
         
 

I had a baby out of wedlock,
Her old man got me in a headlock,
I was an unwed father, but don't bother feeling sorry for me.
I took a lot of LSD,
I smoked a lot of marja-weenie,
But it did not help me, it did not set me free.

Jesus, why'd you go and do it, why'd you help a guy like me?
You saved me, you forgave me, and I swear you set me free.
You took away my problems, one by one,
I guess you knew what you were doing when you sent your son.

You know the way that I've been living
Has been taking without giving,
And I hurt a lot of people and I lost my friends.
I spent a little time in prison
But I know the Lord has risen
And I'll never need to be locked up again.

Jesus, why'd you go and do it, why'd you help a guy like me?
You saved me, you forgave me, and I swear you set me free.
You took away my problems, one by one,
I guess you knew what you were doing when you sent your son.
