"Lord, Forgive Me" lyrics

Been waking up in the middle of the night
A cold sweat and a haunting cry
In these dreams of mine
Cashing out at the bank
Scraping up enough change
To pick up and run away

The tape was rolling
How could I forget
Silence is golden
Least that's what my lawyer said

Oh I never meant to hurt that man
Of course I never meant to hurt that man
Lord, forgive me for I've sinned
You see I've shot a man down
It's only right I stand a trial
Now, now
Would you look at what a mess I've made
No life will never
Life will never be the same

A button-up and a long black tie
A hurricane of tears fall from his mother's eyes swear if I could take it back I would
See, I never, I never

The tape was rolling
How could I forget
Silence is golden
Least that's what my lawyer said

Oh I never meant to hurt that man
Of course I never meant to hurt that man
Lord, forgive me for I've sinned
You see I've shot a man down
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
In the mirror rehearsing my defense
I can barely stand the sight
I'm facing 25 to life
Cuffs gripping on my wrists tight
Tell my mama it'll be alright

Lord, forgive me for I've sinned
See I've shot a man down
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
