[00:12.06]He was sitting on the front porch of a half-way house
[00:18.82]Chainin' cigarettes and drinkin' coffee
[00:24.78]I was walkin' by on my way home
[00:30.42]Stopped and said, hello, how are ya
[00:36.13]He looked at me and said, I've seen better days
[00:42.16]I looked at him and said, there's a better way
[00:47.95]
[00:49.57]Three nails and a cross
[00:56.20]Equal forgiveness
[01:01.32]Just like you, I was lost
[01:07.42]And that's hell to have to live with
[01:15.38]I've sat on that front porch where you're sittin' now
[01:21.56]I kept lookin' deep inside 'til I figured out
[01:25.55]Three nails and a cross equal forgiveness.
[01:34.98]
[01:45.07]She was sittin' on her bed crying crocodiles
[01:51.34]Sixteen ain't a good age to be pregnant
[01:57.43]And she thinks mom and dad won't love her anymore
[02:04.21]Like the boy who swore he always would but doesn't
[02:09.14]She turns and sees that Bible laying by her bed
[02:14.82]And she crumbles to her knees as she bows her head
[02:21.36]
[02:22.55]Three nails and a cross
[02:29.23]Equal forgiveness
[02:33.13]Lord help me cause I'm lost
[02:40.49]And that's hell to have to live with
[02:48.13]I need You more than ever now, without a doubt
[02:54.18]I've made a big mistake, can You help me out
[03:03.85]Three nails and a cross equal forgiveness
[03:10.62]Three nails and a cross equal forgiveness
[03:21.56]
