Mama, I sinned again, I went to bed with another man
Know the town won't understand, are you still gon' hold my hand
Say mama, I broke the rules, gotta face these holy fools
It felt cool when they heard the news, guess I better give my son the shoes
Oh 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
Oh 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
Arms are 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
Father 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
Say father, I'm not ashamed, I got no one to blame
So I go naming names if all if us are just the same
Arms are 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
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, would 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
A sinner like you
I'm just a sinner like you
Like you, I'm just a
