I Can't Help Myself by Van Zant
I've been lost in the darkness for so long I can't see the light I've been strung out, burned, left out, and hung out to dry. So I say to myself that I wanna get better Hidin' from the truth, I can't last forever
Chorus Jesus help me Obviously, I can't help myself I've got nobody else Send me an Angel Someone to strangle That ol' demon that's haunting me there on the shelf I can't help myself.
My excuses are so old and tired, hell I forgot 'em I keep fallin' and crawlin' and drownin' down here on the bottom Yeah I pushed back my brothers said good-bye to my friends When you get in this deep the hell never ends
Chorus Jesus help me Obviously, I can't help myself I've got nobody else Send me an Angel Someone to strangle That ol' demon that's haunting me there on the shelf I can't help myself
Give me a reason to live; show me a sign I'm on the edge; goin' out of my mind I'm down on my knees; I'm beggin' you please make me somebody else I can't help myself I need something stronger, pour it all over me
Partial Chorus Send me an Angel Someone to strangle that ol' demon 'Cause you know that I never will I can't help myself Lord, I can't help myself.
=============================================================== Been There, Done That by Van Zant
I've seen the devil, Stared him straight in the eyes. Danced in his fire on my darkest nights. Laid in his garden an' I drank his wine. Slept with temptation to laugh at salvation: It almost ate me alive.
Oh, I've been there done that, had my thrill: Ain't goin' back again. I was the life of every party, It nearly did me in. I was the baddest man you've ever seen, Lord, I wrote the book on sin. Yeah, I been down that road, I ain't goin' back again.
I caused more damage than a hurricane. I broke your heart an' didn't feel a thing. (I walked.) Then walked away and cursed your name in vain. (Cursed your name.) But with you as my witness, You gave me forgiveness, Now I've got a second chance.
Oh, I've been there done that, had my thrill: Ain't goin' back again. I was the life of every party, It nearly did me in. I was the baddest man that you've ever seen, Lord, I wrote the book on sin. Yeah, I been down that road.
He's knockin' at my door, Ain't walkin' round here no more. Been there, done that, Ain't goin' back again, no!
I was the baddest mother that you've ever seen, Lord, I wrote the book on sin. Been there, done that, Ain't goin' back again.
I was the life of every party, It nearly did me in. I was the baddest man that you've ever seen, Lord, I wrote the book on sin. Yeah, I been down that road. I ain't goin' back again,Oh, no!
Been there, done that.I was the life of the party, yeah. (Been there, done that.)

We Can't Do It Alone by Van Zant
I wear this cross ‘cause I believe He shed His precious blood so I’d be saved. And Daddy had a gold one just like me And when he died he wore it to his grave He said don’t you cry son ‘cause in the long run We’ll all be together again
CHORUS ‘Cause we’re all God’s children Sinners tryin’ to make it to the light Ain’t no easy livin’ So hold on to one another We’re all sister, we’re all brothers Just tryin’ to find our way back home You know we can’t do it alone Now I see the world through my child’s eyes And I wonder where it’s all gonna go Things are hard, these are troubled times You know the devil’s always tryin’ to steal your soul And the older I get the more I see that More love is always what we need
CHORUS ‘Cause we’re all God’s children Sinners tryin’ to make it to the light Ain’t no easy livin’ So hold on to one another We’re all sister, we’re all brothers Just tryin’ to find our way back home You know we can’t do it alone No one can be that strong We can’t make it on our own We can’t do it alone
CHORUS ‘Cause we’re all God’s children Sinners tryin’ to make it to the light Ain’t no easy livin’ So hold on to one another We’re all sister, we’re all brothers Just tryin’ to find our way back home You know we can’t do it alone
