They tell me God forgives you for almost anything you do
They tell me God forgives you for almost anything you do
Well, if that’s the case, that’s the case
I think I’m going to kill that man
Then drop down on my knees

Well, this morning, God knows, that man he comes a-waltzing in
Just waltzing in
Well, I got my shotgun, I broke down
I started to mow that man down

Yeah, they tell me God forgives you
If that’s the case now, people
I’m gonna mow my baby down

You don’t put yourself out, you don’t put yourself out
You don’t treat Margo right, you don’t treat Margo right
Now darling, there come a time
You’re gonna need my love again

They tell me God forgives me for almost anything you do

You don’t seem to understand
I’ve got your life right in my hands

Yeah, they tell me God forgives you for almost anything you do
Anything you do
Well, if that’s the case, that’s the case
I think I’m going to kill that man
Then drop down on my knees

This morning, God knows, that man he comes waltzing in
Just waltzing in
Well, I grabbed my shotgun, I broke down
I started to mow that man down

Yeah, they tell me God forgives you for almost anything you do
If that’s the case now, people
I’m gonna mow my baby down
I’m gonna mow my baby down
I’m gonna shoot that man

You don’t put yourself out, you don’t put yourself out
You don’t treat Margo right, you don’t treat your baby right
Now darling, there come a time
You’re gonna need my love again

Yeah, they tell me God forgives you for almost anything
Anything you do
