May the oceans wash the sin from my tongue before my final bell is rung May the rivers rinse the blood from my hands and I hope my momma understands I didn't mean to hurt no man I didn't mean to lay him out on the land So bless this body full of holes And may the Lord have mercy on this soul You should've seen it coming You should've stayed out of my way I didn't come here to hurt no one, no But get out of my way or get under my boot I didn't come here to slay no sons, no But I'll cut you off at the root I heard you've got something to say to me? My left ear's burning up I heard you've been pointing fingers? I'll sew your mouth shut They told me tales about your charity Folks lay leaves at your feet Still, you wear no crown of thorns Do you know how to bleed? You should've seen it coming Should've stayed out of my way Nailed up like a saviour again Did you squeeze out more forgiveness then? Keep yourself deaf to the truth Call it right 'til it soothes I'll cut you down You knew I would Get off the cross We need the wood
