lyrics

I've laid men low for nothing
I've been repaid in kind.
I've slept in places I've never been
to look for warmth I couldn't find

I've lived a life meant for no one
I've walked a path of regret
I saw Jesus's light and turned away
Hope he's still got some left

And though the lights are always brighter
On the other side of the street,
You'll be more than I could ever be.
And I pray to God you won't be like me...
and you won't.

I always seemed to make the wrong turn.
I never gave a damn, I'd go.
And just beat on my breast, say "I did my best",
Then turn when their tears flowed.

It's hard to hold onto you innocence
When you can't turn from what's wrong.
So you take the cotton fields, and the sinner's sweet deals,
And leave them standing with a song.

And I know the lights are always brighter
On the other side of the street,
You'll be more than I could ever be.
And I pray to God you won't be like me...
and you won't...
No, you won't...

I've laid men low for nothing
Been repaid in kind.
Slept in places I've never been,
and looked for warmth I'd never find..

And though the lights are always brighter
On the other side of the street,
You'll be more than I could ever be.
And I swear to God you won't be like me.
No, you won't...
You won't...
You won't...
