"Lord Knows" lyrics

Lord knows
I've spent too many of nights
Down wasted on a bathroom floor
Lord knows
I've loved too many of lies
To not believe in love anymore
Lord knows
I'm headed down a path
That'll have me on the wrong side of heaven's door
I know He's up there
Somewhere tired countin'
How many times I've swore

That I'd try to do better
That I'd try to be good

Well I'm leaving it all behind
Setting out to find my peace
Take the sins on my hands
To the river bend
And pray God wash 'em clean
Lord knows
Lord, Lord
Lord knows

Lord knows
If mama knew the things I've done
She wouldn't recognize the woman here now
Lord knows
It was more than my pride
That convinced me that I's alone in figurin' it out
Lord knows
I've let the devil and his fleet
Toss anchor on sacred ground
I know they're down there somewhere
I can feel the heat of the fire as they shout

That I'll never be better
That I'll never be good

Well I'm leaving it all behind
Setting out to find my peace
Take the sins on my hands
To the river bend
And pray God wash 'em clean
Yes I'm leaving it all behind
Jesus gonna set me free
He'll take the sins on my hands
To the river bend
And there he'll wash 'em clean
Lord knows
Lord, Lord
Lord knows
Lord, Lord

Yes I'm leaving it all behind
Jesus gonna set me free
He'll take the sins on my hands
To the river bend
And there he'll wash 'em clean
Lord knows

(Lord, Lord)
(Lord knows)
