"Heaven For A Sinner" lyrics
I know, I've fallen short a time or two
I know, I don't pray like I ought to
Yeah I know, that the Lord will forgive us
'Cause he made love for the land, hands for the man and heaven's made for a sinner
Lord knows I've tried to make my past life wither
Washed out my sins in the flow of that river
Choked out these demons till they shook and quivered
'Cause he made love for the land, hands for the man, and heaven's made for a sinner
Walking these miles of life I've found that I ain't ever gonna be shit
I've fallen off the wagon more times than I haven't, promises—I never keep them
I bury all my sorrows deep inside my mind, I'm broken into several pieces
I'm so long-gone, will never be found, lost as I get out with demons
All surrounding my path, I'm walking in flames and I know that I got nobody else to blame
The devil is calling, it's time to be paid with one foot on the ground and one foot in the grave
But how can I resist? My heart is cold in pain
So maybe all the flames can come and melt this ice away
I know, I've fallen short a time or two
I know, I don't pray like I ought to
Yeah I know, that the Lord will forgive us
'Cause he made love for the land, hands for the man and heaven's made for a sinner
Lord knows I've tried to make my past life wither
Washed out my sins in the flow of that river
Choked out these demons till they shook and quivered
'Cause he made love for the land, hands for the man, and heaven's made for a sinner
I know that I'm not perfect but I also know I better change my ways
'Cause if I don't I know I'm gonna plummet down deep inside of my early grave
I gotta put down the bottle [?] I don't feel a thing inside
So it's hard to know when I am going down a path that is my slow decline
I got these demons all around me, they're pulling at my legs
They're hoping that I fall so they can drag me down to them
They got me crawling on my knees and I'm reaching for a hand
I just pray it's not the devil that will try to help me stand
I know, I've fallen short a time or two
I know, I don't pray like I ought to
Yeah I know, that the Lord will forgive us
'Cause he made love for the land, hands for the man and heaven's made for a sinner
Lord knows I've tried to make my past life wither
Washed out my sins in the flow of that river
Choked out these demons till they shook and quivered
'Cause he made love for the land, hands for the man, and heaven's made for a sinner
I know, I don't pray like I ought to
Yeah I know, that the Lord will forgive us
'Cause he made love for the land, hands for the man and heaven's made for a sinner
Lord knows I've tried to make my past life wither
Washed out my sins in the flow of that river
Choked out these demons till they shook and quivered
'Cause he made love for the land, hands for the man, and heaven's made for a sinner
Walking these miles of life I've found that I ain't ever gonna be shit
I've fallen off the wagon more times than I haven't, promises—I never keep them
I bury all my sorrows deep inside my mind, I'm broken into several pieces
I'm so long-gone, will never be found, lost as I get out with demons
