Lyrics

[Verse 1] When the trigger's movin' backwards And the pin hits the shell When my soul's sinkin' slowly To the warm pits of hell Won't you tell my baby sister That I'll be back in the fall 'Cause it's better to have false hope Than no hope at all [Chorus] And I'll be meetin' with my savior To go over my foolish deeds When He asks me why I did it Lord, I'll blame it on the seed 'Cause it didn't grow in like I planned And when it did it all went dry And I couldn't stand to hear the pain Of a small baby cryin' [Verse 2] Well I remember in the graveyards Well I used to read the names And I wondered when the Good Lord Would take my soul away Well I wonder if he planned it to happen Like this at all With a shot heard halfway 'cross the world And my sins on the wall [Chorus] And I'll be meetin' with my savior To go over my foolish deeds When He asks me why I did it Lord, I'll blame it on the seed 'Cause it didn't grow in like I planned And when it did it all went dry And I couldn't stand to hear the pain Of a small baby cryin' [Outro] And they'll tell me I'm a bad man But they've never seen the sight Of a baby wailin' in his crib And rippin' apart the night It's a small baby cryin'
