Lord, Forgive Me

Ooh-oh

Whoa-ooh-whoa, oh, ooh-oh

Ooh-oh

Whoa-ooh-whoa, oh, ooh-oh

Been wakin' up in the middle of the night

A cold sweat and a hauntin' cry in these dreams of mine

Cashin' out at the bank

Scrapin' up enough change to pick up and run away

The tape was rollin' (whoa-ooh-whoa, oh, ooh-oh)

How could I forget?

Silence is golden (whoa-ooh-whoa, oh, ooh-oh)

Least that's what my lawyer said

Oh, I never meant to hurt that man (whoa-ooh-whoa, oh, ooh-oh)

Of course, I never meant to hurt that man

Lord, forgive me for I've sinned (forgive me for I've sinned)

You see, I've shot a man down (oh)

It's only right I stand a trial now, now

Would you look at what a mess I've made?

No, life won't ever, life will never be the same

A button up and a long black tie (black tie)

A hurricane of tears fall from his mother's eyes

Swear if I could take it back, I would

'Cause I never, I never

The tape was rollin' (whoa-ooh-whoa, oh, ooh-oh)

How could I forget?

Silence is golden (whoa-ooh-whoa, oh, ooh-oh)

Least that's what my lawyer said

Oh, I never meant to hurt that man (whoa-ooh-whoa, oh, ooh-oh)

Of course, I never meant to hurt that man

Lord, forgive me for I've sinned (forgive me for I've sinned)

You see, I've shot a man down (oh)

It's only right I stand a trial now, now

Would you look at what a mess I've made?

No, life won't ever, life will never be the same

What goes around comes around again

I'll never rest my eyelids

I'll suffer in this silence, no-no (no)

In the mirror rehearsin' my defense

I can barely stand the sight

I'm facin' 25 to life

Cuffs grippin' on my wrists tight

Tell my mama it'll be alright

Lord, forgive me for I've sinned (forgive me for I've sinned)

You see, I've shot a man down (oh)

It's only right I stand a trial now, now

Would you look at what a mess I've made?

No, life won't ever, life will never be the same
