Country Music Lyrics

Just as I am

Just as I am - Brantley Gilbert

You said come just as you are
Skin and bones
Smellin' like a bar
Are you sure you want me here this way
Well okay
I'm on my way
Grab this bottle just in case
Well I'm just too ashamed to pray
I'm bringin' this burden to you now
Yeah 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 altar
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 poured it out would ya take my offer
Give me the strength to never pick it up
Here I stand
Just as I am

Ya know most folks don't understand
I'm talkin' about pourin' out my best friend
Damn
It sounds so sad but that's how it is
And that's why it's gotta end
And I try to bide myself
Forget my pride and need your help

I'm gonna drive my steel horse down to the altar
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 poured it out would you take my offer
Give me the strength to never pick it up
Here I stand
Just as I am

So feel that river full of tears and whiskey
8 oz spill and the wars I've raged
1000 loves and heartbroken 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
