I wrestled with the devil all night.

Fightin' with what's wrong and what's right.
C
I was 2 months from home, the whiskey too strong,
D G
Brought a weakness I've never known.
C
I won't try to make an excuse,
F
There can't be one for what I’ve done to you.
C G C
Won't you please let me in, so I can plead my case again
[Chorus]
F
If the lord can forgive me, why can't you.
C
If I can still get to heaven,
C
Why can't I get to you?

He died for my sins, I’m dying here too.
C Am G C C C
If the lord can forgive me girl, why can't you.

By givin' you the love, you deserve.

For the children’s sake,
