C&W song lyrics: Harkening back to my duty as a Catholic boy.
Flagstones feel each boot step of mine
As I march on towards the house divine
To confess to a priest my redacted list
Enumerating my unrighteousness
There, in that dark booth, I begin
In the name of the Father, the Son, and Holy Spirit. Amen.
Bless me, Father, for I have sinned
My last confession... not sure how long it's been
[CHORUS]
But, I lied to my father
I kissed the neighbor's daughter
I took money from my mother's purse
And I cursed. Oh, did I curse
I gambled with my buddies
Made phony phone calls conducting studies
I used the Lord's name in vain
When I knocked a baseball through a window pane
I sprayed graffiti on a rail car
Robbed the A&P of a Snickers bar
Flipped through an old Playboy magazine
And bought a 45 record by Queen
I pushed a mime
I cut in line
I also shot my BB gun... killed a dove
That's all my sins... at least the ones I can think of
God, I am sorry for my sins, with all my soul
I'm gonna start to listen and do as I'm told
Serve me penance, I deserve to suffer
Give me 40 Hail Marys and 25 Our Fathers
God will pardon you, but take heed, alrighty?
Your sins are absolved in the name of the Almighty
Glory be... this mercy's beyond compare
So, y'all give thanks to the man upstairs
[CHORUS]
Because I lied to my father
I kissed the neighbor's daughter
I misused a National Geographic
And threw eggs into heavy traffic
I took money from my mother's purse
And I cursed. Oh Lord did I curse
I gambled with my buddies
Made phony phone calls conducting studies
I used the Lord's name in vain
When I knocked a baseball through a window pane
I sprayed graffiti on a rail car
Robbed the A&P of a Snickers bar
I pushed a mime
I cut in line
I also shot my BB gun... killed a dove
That's all my sins... at least the ones I can think of
