George Strait - Three Nails And A Cross Lyrics
He was sitting on the front porch of a half-way houseChainin' cigarettes and drinkin' coffeeI was walkin' by on my way homeStopped and said, hello, how are yaHe looked at me and said, I've seen better daysI looked at him and said, there's a better wayThree nails and a crossEqual forgivenessJust like you, I was lostAnd that's hell to have to live withI've sat on the front porch where you're sittin' nowI kept lookin' deep inside 'til I figured outThree nails and a cross equal forgiveness.She was sittin' on her bed crying crocodilesSixteen ain't a good age to be pregnantAnd she thinks mom and dad won't love her anymoreLike the boy who swore he always would but doesn'tShe turns and sees that Bible laying by her bedAnd she crumbles to her knees as she bows her headThree nails and a crossEqual forgivenessLord help me 'cause I'm lostAnd that's hell to have to live withI need you more than ever now, without a doubtI've made a big mistake, can you help me outThree nails and a cross equal forgivenessThree nails and a cross equal forgiveness
