Deathbed Prayer

Let me keep on sinning, Lord; I swear I'll change someday
Let me do the things I do and say the things I say
'Cause don't we know that life is brief and soon to pass away?
Just let me keep on sinning, let me live another day.
I left mother drowning in her tears so I could drown in booze
Let my father die so far away I couldn't hear the news
Knocked the windows out of a church 'cause of what it made me lose
Now I'm backed into a corner where there's nothing else to choose
I'm hell bound, bell bent on saying what I meant
Though the Devil tried to stop me I'm the change that's heaven sent
And though I've done so many things I think I never could defend
I'm gonna do a little better 'fore the shit comes to an end, so
Let me keep on sinning, Lord; I swear I'll change someday
Let me do the things I do and say the things I say
'Cause don't we know that life is brief and soon to pass away?
Just let me keep on sinning, let me live another day.
