I couldn't give you what you wanted
You couldn't be what I needed
Drove out to the county line
You prayed that my heart would stop beating

I said: You nedd Jesus
'Cause He won't leave you like I did
I guess I haven't been the cleanest
I cursed your name one too many times
But you're so used to burnin' pages
Is that why you can't read between the lines?

You need somethin' that'll free ya
You need somethin' that'll give you life
You need somethin' that'll heal ya, oh
I said: You need Jesus

Now you're off to skippin' college
Travelin' the world and dancin' on its shores
With your new-found destiny
Or whatever you call it
I say: What you found ain't yours

You need somethin' that'll free ya
You need somethin' that'll give you life
You need somethin' that'll heal ya, oh
I said: You need Jesus

Drove back from the county line, past your house
I can't tell who's wrong or right, I lost myself
I dropped ypu off at home
You said: Go to hell
Mm

You need somethin' that'll free ya
You need somethin' that'll give you life
