Just As I Am - Brantley Gilbert

You said come just as you are

Skin and bones smell like a bar

You sure you want me there this way

Okay, well I’m on my way

I’ll grab this bottle just in case

I’m just too ashamed to pray

Well I’m bringing this burden to you now

Yea the prodigal son returns

The only way that I know how, the only way that I know how

Gonna drive my steel horse down to the alter

Put my hands on the tank and pray

Lord I ain’t got much to offer

And I ain’t tryin to die this way

So may this bottle be the body

And this bourbon be the blood

If I pour it out will you take my offering

Give me the strength to never pick it up

Yea here I stand, just as I am

You know most folks don’t understand

That I’m talkin bout pourin 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 horse down to the alter

Put my hands on the tank and pray

Lord I ain’t got much to offer

But I ain’t tryin to die this way

So may this bottle be the body

And this bourbon be the blood

If I pour it out will you take my offering

Give me the strength to never pick it up

Here I stand, just as I am

Mmmmmhmmmmmmm

So fill that river full of tears and whiskey

Blood I’ve spilled and the wars I’ve waged

A thousand loved lost heart broke memories

Scars on the heart and the skin I’m wearin

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
