The Unlikely Candidates – Oh My Dear Lord lyrics

[Verse 1]
Here's my confession
I've got a death wish
I'm in the fast lane
Addicted to excess

Living my best life
I was on top right
Sipping the limelight
A deer in the headlights

[Pre-Chorus]
My future used to shine as bright as a diamond
Where did time go?
I was so high, it was frightening
I know I messed up, but there's no use in crying
(No use in crying)
Oh my dear Lord

[Chorus]
I've been running wild, had a good time
But I can't stop now
(Oh my dear Lord)
Over my head in a landslide
Can you pull me out?
Oh my dear Lord
Oh my dear Lord
Oh my dear Lord

I've been running wild, had a good time
But I can't stop now
Oh my dear Lord
Oou, oh my dear Lord

[Verse 2]
I was a good guy
But I was the worst type
Give me an inch, man
And I'll take a mile
I'm walking back now
Past all the fires
Trying to find out
Why I grabbed the lighter

[Pre-Chorus]
My future used to shine as bright as a diamond
Where did time go?
I was so high, it was frightening
I know I messed up, but there's no use in crying
(No use in crying)
Oh my dear Lord

[Chorus]
I've been running wild, had a good time
But I can't stop now
(Oh my dear Lord)
Over my head in a landslide
Can you pull me out?
Oh my dear Lord
Oh my dear Lord
Oh my dear Lord

I've been running wild, had a good time
But I can't stop now
Oh my dear Lord
Yeah
Yeah-eh
(Oh my dear Lord)
Yeah
Yeah-eh

[Bridge]
Been a tyrant, been a pusher, pushing my disease
Breaking bones and taking everything in front of me
Priests and beggars looking up to heaven from their knees
Is anyone listening?
Is anyone listening?
Is anyone listening?

[Chorus]
(Oh my dear Lord)
I've been running wild, had a good time
But I can't stop now
(Oh my dear Lord)
Over my head in the landslide
Can you pull me out?
Oh my dear Lord (Yeah)
Oh my dear Lord (Yeah-eh)
Oh my dear Lord

I've been running wild, had a good time
But I can't stop now
Oh my dear Lord
Oohh, my dear Lord
