Riff 1


Drivin' through the dessert I met a man
He told me of his crazy plan
He'd been walkin' there for twenty days
He was gonna walk on for twenty more
Said how 'bout a drink or a bite to eat
Said no my faith is all I need
Said then save me save me
Mister walkin' man if you can
You don't need to prove a thing to me
Just give me faith make me believe
Come on save me save me
Mister walkin' man, if you can
Come on save me save me
Mister stranger, if you please
Save me save me..

Oh maybe if you walk but you should drive around
And save me save me

Come on save me save me
Mister stranger, if you please
Save me save me..
