I can't stand to see a grown man
|
Hit a little kid
|
Or get cussed out for somethin'
|
Not even knowin' what he did
|
|
See a man any man
|
Messin' 'round with your best friend's wife
|
Or sit helpless in the corner
|
And watch a man drink away his life
|
I'm gonna clean up my soul lord
|
You don't owe me no back pay
|
I'm gonna tell that to the devil
|
When I see him today
|
Walked to a graveyard
|
May they all rest in peace
|
I wish they could all go to heaven
|
I bet two did at least
|
|
Someone that don't feel sorry
|
For the helpless and the blind
|
Kinda makes you wanna pick up the bible
|
And memorize every single line
|
I'm gonna clean up my soul lord
|
You don't owe me no back pay
|
I'm gonna tell that to the devil
|
When I see him today
|
|
See a man walk by a beggar
|
With an empty tin cup
|
Kinda makes you wanna grab him
|
|
By the back of the neck
|
Knock him down and never pick him up
|
I'm gonna clean up my soul lord
|
You don't owe me no back pay
|
I'm gonna tell that to the devil
|
When I see him today
|
|
I'm gonna tell that to the devil
|
When I see him today
|
