Lyrics

Verse 1

Lord I'm just a sinner

Never worthy of your call

The biggest loser in this life

Always destined for a fall

Broke every commandment

Never followed any rule

Worst kind of human being

Pawned the family jewels

Pre-Chorus

And I'm down here on my knees again

Wondering where the light went in

Chorus

Cause I been walking crooked lines so long

Every road I take just leads me wrong

Made a mess of everything I touch

Lord I need a hand or I need a crutch

Verse 2

King of all wrong turns

Down a one-way street

When it comes to losin

Seems I never miss a beat

Late night wondering

Down yesterdays memories

Every door I opened

Slammed right back on me

Pre-Chorus

And the mirror tells a story cold

Every chapter that I never sold

Chorus

Cause I been walking crooked lines so long

Every road I take just leads me wrong

Made a mess of everything I touch

Lord I need a hand or I need a crutch

Bass Solo

Bridge

Sinner stained and weathered thin

Never fit the skin I'm in

Traded gold for borrowed time

Left my halo lost behind

Chorus

Cause I been walking crooked lines so long

Every road I take just leads me wrong

Made a mess of everything I touch

Lord I need a hand or I need a crutch

Lord I need a hand or I need a crutch

Outro

Lord I'm just a sinner

Just a sinner

Just a sinner

Mm-hmm
