God May Forgive You But I Don't

Iris DeMent

You say that you're born again

Cleansed of your former sins

You want me to say I'll forgive and forget

But you've done too much for me

Don't you be touchin' me

Go back and touch all those women you've met



Chorus:

God may forgive you but I won't

Yes, Jesus loves you but I don't

They don't have to live with you, neither do I

You say that you're born again, well so am I

God may forgive you, but I won't

I won't even try



The kids used to cry for you

I had to try to do

Things that a dad should do since you were gone

You really let us down

You may be heaven bound

But you've made one hell of a mess here at home



Chorus
