NAILS OF THE WOODEN CROSS

Sang to the tune of "Justice in the Barrel" by Bon Jovi

Jesus can you help me

I’m a sinner on the run

I’m just looking for salvation

I’m not gonna hurt no one

I ran head first into a problem

I was just looking for a friend

My search came up with nothing

I didn’t find the truth

I only found an end

I know that you can help save me for you are the holy one

The only justice for a man like me are the nails of the wooden cross

I’ve been broke and I’ve been beaten

All because of my ways

I wonder when I’ll get enough

Of this crying game

What I need in life I’d take It

Got that feeling

Need to make it last

They say good things come to those who wait

It’s my life that’s fading fast

There was just one rule I’d live by

Each day I’d live by the gun

The image that hunts me both day and night

Are the nails of the wooden cross

There’s been so many sleepless nights

With this image running through my head

So Jesus will you help me and forgive me for what I’ve done

Or have the ghosts of justice brought you here to me to face the nails of the wooden cross.
