Well I spent so much time looking out through iron barsAnd when I'd look down I'd see stripes running up my armsAnd I'd spit and I'd curse when I'd see that goddamn chainBut now I promise that I'll never take your name in vain againLord, Lord, Lord can I please have your forgivenessAnd I'll try, try, try to make a friend in JesusAnd I will not lie, cheat, deceive or stealAnd I promise I won't do no wrong no moreWell now I'm out of that grey jail house without a penny now to spendOh Lord I feel so out of touch, I sure could use a friendMy Charlotte she don't want me and my Pa's deep in the groundIt looks like I've got nobody who cares that I'm aroundLord, Lord, Lord can I please have your forgivenessAnd I'll try, try, try to make a friend in JesusAnd I will not lie, cheat, deceive or stealAnd I promise I won't do no wrong no moreWell I've seen folks who've found you Lord And they say you ain't half badAnd they say you'll accept anyoneNo matter what kind of past they've hadThey shout out your nameAnd they clap both their handsSongtexteAnd they sing of your love, so come on manGive me a second chanceLord, Lord, Lord can I please have your forgivenessAnd I'll try, try, try to make a friend in JesusAnd I will not lie, cheat, deceive or stealAnd I promise I won't do no wrong no more Aus Songtexte Mania
