Sinner's Prayer |
| Sinner’s Prayer |
| Slaid Cleaves & Rod Picott |
| I’m not living like I should |
| I want to be a better man |
| A sinner’s prayer upon my lips |
| A broken promise in my hand |
| I know that there will come a day |
| A heavy price I’ll have to pay |
| I keep pretending to be good |
| But I’m not living like I should |
| I’m not living like I should |
| I’ve let the mystery slip away |
| The night goes by in dreamless sleep |
| I’m chasing foolish things all day |
| I walk this town just like a ghost |
| I don’t know what I miss the most |
| I’d believe in something if I could |
| I’m not living like I should |
| When people see me on the street |
| They think they see an honest man |
| They don’t know what lies beneath |
| But some of them would understand |
| They know the soul and what it hides |
| You sometimes see it in their eyes |
| A guilty man where a child once stood |
| I’m not living like I should |
| I’m not living like I should |
| The wolves howl, the robin sings |
| The world keeps spinning round and round |
| I wait for mercy’s angel wings |
| Another day another year |
| Death keeps whispering in my ear |
| I say a prayer I knock on wood |
| I’m not living like I should |
| I’m not living like I should |
| I want to be a better man |
| A sinner’s prayer upon my lips |
| A broken promise in my hands |
| A squandered gift, a wasted day |
| Time chases life away |
| I just wanted to be good |
| But I’m not living like I should |
