lyrics

Smoke rose from the barrel of the rifle that I held
Blood flowed from the body of the man that I had felled
and tears rolled down the cheeks of the woman at the well.
That was when I knew I'd surely go to hell.

Well I have never been a man of any sort of faith
but at that moment I felt I could use a little grace.
I cried 'Holy righteous Father, I've killed a man today'
then I fell down to the ground and I prayed:

Refrain
I wanna see a holy beam of light
I wanna see a heavenly sight
I wanna be better than the man I am
I wanna know the wrong from the right
I wanna know just how to be polite
Lord have mercy on me, you know I'm a sinner man.

Then a man in priestly robes came up and told me that I'd been saved
He said 'try and love the good Lord like Peter the saint'
Well I said 'I'm sorry sir, I think you've made a mistake -
You see I can't be someone who I know I ain't'

'Well I ain't ever seen no saint who shot a man down
and it won't be too long before I'm locked up in town'
He said 'It ain't ever too late to turn around,
You once were lost, but now son, you've been found!

Refrain

I've heard Paul he had an angel to break off his chain
Well if you see him on the street could you send him my way?
Tell him that I don't deserve to see the light of day
But I sure would love to see my family again.

Refrain
