The Gospel According To My Ol Man Lyrics

The Gospel According To My Ol Man

Hey, I didn't mean a thing I said last night.
I swear I didn't mean a word I
used.
You don't have to listen, baby. You have every right
to feel that
heart of yours has been abused.
I know I've used up all my chances a long,
long time ago
and I really don't deserve to call you mine,
but, if I told
you that I loved you, could I lay back down beside you?
Could you take it on
faith one more time?
Look at me I'm crying... imagine me crying.
Well,
it's time I learned to anyway,
'cause if you're really set on one of us
leaving,
I guess there's really nothing left to say.
It seems like such a
shame,
but baby, I could never blame you, baby,
for leaving this old story
far behind
and if I told that I love you, could I lay back down beside
you?
Could you take it on faith one more time?
I know I promised to you
before
I wouldn't do anything to hurt you no more.
If I could take it all
back and start again... take it all back, well maybe
then,
I could tell
you that I love you. I could lay back down beside you.
I could tell you that
I love you, lay back down beside you.
If I told you that I love, could I lay
back down beside you?
Could you take me on faith one more time?
