Mama, I sinned again
I went to bed with another man
Know the town won't understand
Are you still gon' hold my hand?
Sayin', Mama, I broke the rules
Gotta face these holy fools
It felt cold when they heard the news
Guess I better get my Sunday shoes
Mama, what's the use?
We all saw what they done to you
You felt stares when they heard the truth
Say, felt stares when they heard the truth
Mama, we're not alone
Don't know what they do at home
But everybody got a bag of bones, hey
Oh, we all got a bag of bones
Oh, altar's shaking
Walls are caving, yeah
Hold your blessings
I'm confessing, yeah
Somebody say a prayer for me
'Cause Papa didn't preach
And if he did I'd still be wrong
And I've been down on both my knees
Why don't you wanna see?
Why don't you wanna see?
I'm a sinner like you
Faher I testify
Don't wanna tell another lie
So will you look me in the eye?
Or am I out of sight and out of mind?
Father, I'm not ashamed
I got no one to blame
So why go naming names
If all of us are just the same?
Oh, altar's shaking (shaking)
Walls are caving (caving)
Hold your blessings (blessings)
I'm confessing, yeah (I'm confessing)
Somebody say a prayer for me
'Cause Papa didn't preach
And if he did I'd still be wrong
And I've been down on both my knees
Why don't you wanna see?
Why don't you wanna see?
I'm a sinner like you
A sinner like you
I'm just a sinner like you
Like you
I'm just a
I'm a sinner like you
Should I go?
Should I stay?
Are they ever gonna change?
Should we make our amends
Just to hear them say amen?
If I run, run away
Mama, wouldn't you be afraid, no
When the stones start to fly
Who gon' be by my side?
Somebody say a prayer for me
'Cause Papa didn't preach
And if he did I'd still be wrong
And I've been down on both my knees
Why don't you wanna see?
Why don't you wanna see?
I'm a sinner like you
I'm a sinner like you
I'm just a sinner like you
Like you
I'm just a
I'm a sinner like you
