He was sitting on the front porch of a half-way house
|
Chainin' cigarettes and drinkin' coffee
|
I was walkin' by on my way home
|
Stopped and said, hello, how are ya
|
He looked at me and said, I've seen better days
|
I looked at him and said, there's a better way
|
|
Three nails and a cross
|
Equal forgiveness
|
Just like you, I was lost
|
And that's hell to have to live with
|
I've sat on that front porch where you're sittin' now
|
I kept lookin' deep inside 'til I figured out
|
Three nails and a cross equal forgiveness.
|
|
She was sittin' on her bed crying crocodiles
|
Sixteen ain't a good age to be pregnant
|
And she thinks mom and dad won't love her anymore
|
Like the boy who swore he always would but doesn't
|
She turns and sees that Bible laying by her bed
|
And she crumbles to her knees as she bows her head
|
|
Three nails and a cross
|
Equal forgiveness
|
Lord help me cause I'm lost
|
And that's hell to have to live with
|
I need You more than ever now, without a doubt
|
I've made a big mistake, can You help me out
|
Three nails and a cross equal forgiveness
|
Three nails and a cross equal forgiveness
|
