lyrics

VERSE 1:
Well I ain't never robbed a bank
And I ain't shot a man
And I ain't one of those nihilists
Who just don't give a damn
I can't say I believe in God
But I sure believe in Sin
So if you want my lovin' baby
Here's what you'll have to give:

CHORUS:
I want forgiveness
Forgiveness
I want a free ride to do all the things
All the sinners do
Forgiveness, forgiveness
I never mean no harm
But it don't mean I won't harm you

VERSE 2:
Some folks say the laws of Moses
Are all you'll ever need
And others say you better count on Jesus
'Cause he came down here to bleed
While others say Mohammed's book
Will lead you to Allah
Well I don't know who's right or wrong
But I know what I want

(Repeat Chorus)

BRIDGE:
And if you will forgive me
For the crummy things I do
Well then I might forgive you
For the crap you put me through
But if you won't absolve me
Of whatever I do wrong
Well then I got a list on you my girl
Five hundred pages long

(Harmonica solo)

VERSE 3:
Forgiveness is a woman
In my theology
She got champagne eyes, a naughty smile
And dimples on her knees
So when I pray, I'll pray the words
A wiser man once said:
"Sweet Lord, make me pure at heart --
But please don't do it yet!"

CHORUS:
Send me forgiveness
Forgiveness
I want a free ride to do all the things
All the sinners do
Forgiveness, forgiveness
I never mean no harm
But it don't mean I won't harm you

I won't harm you
No, I won't harm you
Unless I have to
No, I won't harm you
No, no no no no . . .

(Harmonica solo out)
