Well, if Dyou can’t quit your sinnin’
G Please quit your low down ways (RGiff)

You canG run down to the desert
You canG stick your head in the sand
You can Graise up your right hand
But your Ggood man ain’t-a-commin’ home, you better understand

Now, you canG run down to the White House
You canG gaze on the Capitol Dome
You can Gpound on the President’s gate, pretty mama
But you Gknow it’s gonna be too late

You’re gonna Cneed my help someGday (my help, someday)
Well, if Dyou can’t quit your sinnin’
G Please quit your low down ways (RGiff)
[Verse]
And you can hGitchhike on the highway
You can Gstand all alone by the side of the road
Tryin’ to flag a Gride back home, pretty mama
But you Gain’t-a-gonna ride in my car no more
You’re gonna Cneed
You’re gonna Cneed my help someGday
Well, if Dyou can’t quit your sinnin’
G Please quit your low down ways (RGiff)

If Dyou can’t quit your sinnin’
G Please quit your low down ways (RGiff) G
