That congregation parted like the red sea When that old drunk stumbled in down the aisle and took seat Right in the middle of amazing grace He could feel the judgment that they were passing Thought to himself, ain't that just like a bunch of Baptists He'd rather be on the street than in this place, with tears on his face You'd think somebody would put their arm around him You'd think somebody would hit a knee Pull him in say a prayer You think somebody would practice what they're preaching I wonder who that somebody might be Probably somebody like me Well he's got problems nobody wants a part of When he got up and slipped out nobody stood up They don't want to make a scene so they let him walk out of there Without a prayer You'd think somebody would do something different You'd think somebody would go against the grain Be the one to run him down, bring him back and turn him around You think somebody would want to make a difference I wonder who that somebody might be Probably somebody like me
