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
