I'd Rather Be Alone - Eli "Paperboy" Reed

Yes, I’d rather be alone in this world of sin

Than surround myself with sinners that won’t be safe

Folks sometime ask me why I steal off all alone

And why when there out in the street do I stay home

I tell 'em I got all I need to keep me company

And if they would just step in the light I know they would see

That I’d rather be alone in this world of sin

Than surround myself with sinners that won’t be safe

Yes, I’d rather be alone in this world of sin

Than surround myself with sinners that won’t be safe

Listen

The world can be a lonely place for a faithful man

When people hear the words of prayer they don’t understand

I just need one man to hear my voice

And I know when I rise up to sing

I made my choice

That I’d rather be alone in this world of sin

Than surround myself with sinners that won’t be safe

Yes, I’d rather be alone in this world of sin

Than surround myself with sinners that won’t be safe

Yes, I’d rather be alone in this world of sin

Than surround myself with sinners that won’t be safe
