I was raised in a Catholic school
Learned who to fight with and pray to
I learned how to hold on
From a book of old psalms

And if you're trying to sing an old song
And you're getting all the words wrong
Well, you're just a-following along
Too closely in the book

I learned how to keep my head
From something Paul said
About keeping the fruit in the spirit
From the chorus down to the hook

And sometimes I wonder
What in God's name did I do
To deserve you
Oh, to deserve you

'Cause I just rolled and I tumbled
Down a long road I stumbled
While shooting in the dark
As to what's best

And finally, I found you
Without ever learning how to
I put the right foot in front of the left
And beyond that is anybody's guess

I learned how to keep my head
From something Paul said
About keeping the fruit in the spirit
From the chorus down to the hook

Oh, and sometimes I wonder
What in God's name did I do
To deserve you
Oh, to deserve you

'Cause I just rolled and I tumbled
Down a long road I stumbled
While shooting in the dark
As to what's best

And finally, I found you
Without ever learning how to
I put the right foot in front of the left

'Cause I just rolled and I tumbled
Down a long road I stumbled
While shooting in the dark
As to what's best

And finally, I found you
Without ever learning how to
I put the right foot in front of the left
And beyond that is anybody's guess
