You can gaze at the Capitol Dome
You can stand alone by the side of the road
Please quit your lowdown ways
Well, if you can't quit your sinnin'
Well, you can run down to the White House
You're gonna need my help someday
But you better understand
You can raise up your right hand, pretty mama
Pretty mama, and pray to the Lord
Quit your lowdown ways
Well, if you can't quit your sinnin'
Quit your lowdown ways
But you can't ride in my car
Pretty mama, you can pound on the President's gate
You're gonna need
Well, you can run down to the desert
But it ain't gonna do you no good
You're gonna need
Please quit your lowdown ways
Quit your lowdown ways
You're gonna need my help someday
Quit your lowdown ways
Pretty mama, and pray to the Lord
Throw yourself on the burnin' sand
Quit your lowdown ways
But it ain't gonna do you no good
You're gonna need my help someday
Well, if you can't quit your sinnin'
You're gonna need
Please quit your lowdown ways
You're gonna need my help someday
You can try to flag a ride back home, pretty mama
Please quit your lowdown ways
Quit your lowdown ways
It'll do you no good
Please quit your lowdown ways
You're gonna need
Well, if you can't quit your sinnin'
You can fall down on your knees
You can hitch hike on the highways
You're gonna need my help someday
You're gonna need
Oh, you can read out of your Bible
Well, if you can't quit your sinnin'
Quit your lowdown ways
