George Strait - Three Nails and a Cross lyrics
[George Strait - Three Nails and a Cross lyrics]
He was sitting on the front
Porch of a half-way house
Chaining cigarettes and drinking coffee
I was walking 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 sitting now
I kept looking deep inside till I figured out
Three nails and a cross equal forgiveness
She was sitting 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
Porch of a half-way house
Chaining cigarettes and drinking coffee
I was walking 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 sitting now
I kept looking deep inside till I figured out
Three nails and a cross equal forgiveness
She was sitting 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
