lyrics

i was ten when they pulled me in
and put me under the water
baptized, a new life
they called us sons and daughters

He was dead is what they said
I never knew my own father
ten lies, no surprise
I didn’t think he would bother

fake it to look honest
you gotta fake it and
never break your promise

(Chorus)
I never claimed to be a prophet, priest or king
I never claimed to be a prophet, priest or king
I came along and sang your songs and then I kindly had to leave
Cause I never wanted to be your prophet, priest or king

I was 38 when I woke up late
and came up out of the water
Backslide and cut ties
i put it all on the alter

a new leaf from an old tree
I had a vision of heaven
by sundown I left this town
so I could make my confession

fake it to look honest
you gotta fake it and
never break your promise

(Chorus)
I never claimed to be a prophet, priest or king
I never claimed to be a prophet, priest or king
I came along and sang your songs and then I kindly had to leave
Cause I never wanted to be your prophet, priest or king
