Lord knows I've spent too many a nights down wasted on a bathroom floor
Lord knows I've loved too many a lies to not believe in love anymore
Lord knows I'm headed down a path that'll have me on the wrong side of heaven's door
I know he's up there somewhere tired countin' how many times I swore

That I try to do better
That I try to be good

Well I'm leavin' it all behind
Settin' out to find my peace
Take the sins on my hands to the river bend
And pray God wash 'em clean

Lord knows
Lord knows

Lord knows if mama knew the things I done she wouldn't recognize the woman here now
Lord knows it was more than my pride that convinced me that I was alone in figurin' it out
Lord knows I've let the devil and his fleet toss anchor on sacred ground
I know they're down there somewhere I can feel the heat of the fires they shout

That I'll never be better
That I'll never be good
