With o pen doors and man u al locks

I head ed west, I was a man on the move.

New York had lied to me, I need ed the truth.

Oh, I need some bod y, I need ed some one I could trust.

I don’t gam ble,

but if I did, I would (F)bet on (C)us.

Like the Dead Sea,

You’ll nev er sink when you are (Am)with me, oh Lord, like the Dead Sea.

Oh, I’m like the Dead Sea,
