I’ve learned that thieving’s a bad thing
And I don’t like folks from steal from me
I’ve never been much into scripture
But I know why folks need to be
I can’t remember why killin’ is wrong
Someone once told me in a song
I can’t remember ‘cuz it’s been so long
I need somebody to keep me strong
I never did cuss at my old man
Nor show him my temper with my fist
Many things that I understand
I’m too old to marry and have kids
I can’t remember why killin’ is wrong
Someone once told me in a song
I can’t remember ‘cuz it’s been so long
I need somebody to keep me strong
I’ve lived a hard life and then some
and I’ve lost my last dime down at the track
I’ve did some hard time in prison
And I know I ain’t ever going back
I can’t remember why killin’ is wrong
Someone once told me in a song
I can’t remember ‘cuz it’s been so long
I need somebody to keep me strong
I’ve lost religion, but it’s not all gone
Maybe the good lord will absolve.
