Lyrics
when I feel put down and torn
I know that I should know better
instead of freedom from scorn
I serve the law of the letter
I see the dirt that I save
keeping it handy on a shelf
I see the game that he play
wants me to condemn myself
chorus
since Jesus died for my sins
the least that I can do
is forgive myself
black winds are trailing my sails
and they're the hurting kind
God's grace can keep me from jails
only exist in my mind
it stops me dead in my tracks
"hey man you ain't good enough"
I want to step on a crack
break the devil's back
I've had enough of this stuff
chorus
