Three Nails And A Cross - George Strait

He was sitting on the front porch of a half-way house

Chainin' cigarettes and drinkin' coffee

I was walkin' by on my way home

Stopped and said hello how are ya

He looked at me and said I've seen better days

I looked at him and said there's a better way

Three nails and a cross

Equal forgiveness

Just like you I was lost

And that's hell to have to live with

I've sat on that front porch where you're sittin' now

I kept lookin' deep inside 'til I figured out

Three nails and a cross

Equal forgiveness

She was sittin' on her bed crying crocodiles

Sixteen ain't a good age to be pregnant

And she thinks mom and dad won't love her anymore

Like the boy who swore he always would but doesn't

She turns and sees that Bible laying by her bed

And she crumbles to her knees as she bows her head

Three nails and a cross

Equal forgiveness

Lord help me cause I'm lost

And that's hell to have to live with

I need You more than ever now without a doubt

I've made a big mistake can You help me out

Three nails and a cross

Equal forgiveness

Three nails and a cross

Equal forgiveness
