Lyrics
I dodged a bullet with - you
I saved a life when I said we were through
By the grace of God, I lived to tell about it. Shook the devil off and learned to live without it
You had me in your sites, goin' down without a fight.
I dodged a bullet with - you
I slipped the hangman's - noose
Came to my senses and I broke myself loose
Realized that you don't have a conscience --Ain't your heart that's makin' your decisions
You had me by the throat, til I found an antidote and
Slipped the hangman's - noose
Mama knew it, tried to tell me, but I wouldn't listen to - her.
Had to find out for myself, you were love's undertaker.
Swing low, Swing low, swing -- low
Yea I was drownin' in - you
Lost myself when I fell into you
Couldn't breathe and was quickly goin' under, the light was fadin' and the water getting darker
You tried to hold me down, but I refused to drown
I got away from--you.
Mama knew it, tried to tell me, but I wouldn't listen to - her.
Had to find out for myself, you were love's undertaker.
Swing low, Swing low, swing -- low
