Murder's Prayer

You take nothing from me and I know you are sincere, I pray to you each night and I tell you every fear. Sometimes I may not be pious and I change my ways, but know that I still love you until the last of my days. I ask you for forgiveness for all the wrongs in my life You see, Lord, I've killed someone tonight with a knife. I was angry, and drunk not to mention a little stressed so I went to my girl friends house to get it off my chest When I walked into her place I knew something was wrong I saw strange shoes in the hall way, a tie and her thong. I rushed to her bedroom and you know what I seen? Lord...she was the unfaithful one you know what I mean? So I rushed to my jacket and I grabbed my knife quick I took the guy out first the blood made me so sick You see I was furious with anger and I just couldn't stop When all of a sudden all the noise had alerted a cop he was nearby just cruising the street near my car So I grabbed my jacket and fled the scene to a bar Lord I drank my sorrows away and now here I am I've still got blood all over me so I think I will scram I don't know if you can forgive me but that's really okay Because I'm still a murderer at the end of this day.
