Soul Salvation (feat. Bonnie Raitt) - Sonny Landreth, Bonnie Raitt

When the world comes down on me

I don’t feel each and every pound on me

Because there’s something that I know

That lightens up my load

Here it is:

Mama, you’re my soul salvation

You are my soul salvation

Only you

Pray for me the way you do

Even when I need help

To save me from myself

Yes, indeed

Mama, you’re my soul salvation

You are my soul salvation

Whatever the burden that darkens my brow

You pull the curtain that lets me see out

And if my glass is half empty, too

I raise it half full just because of you

So here’s to you

For loving me the way you do

Just to see it in your eyes

Sets my spirit to rise

And if I should slip at all

You break my fall

With a smile

Mama, you’re my soul salvation

You are my soul salvation
