lyrics

Slack

Dear God, you know my ways 
the mistakes I have made
Still I get to wake another day

Sunday morning I slept in
I missed church again
I hope you understand

Grant me the strength to resist temptation 
And a job that won’t break my back
Grant me humility and maybe some money
dear God, cut me some slack

Smoked some weed Saturday  night
drank some booze, got into a fight
Just a small town Saturday night

I fooled around with Frankie‘s girl
Can‘t be the worst crime in the world
Cause if nobody knows no one will get hurt 

Grant me the wisdom to know what I can’t change
And a job that won’t break my back
Grant me serenity and maybe some money 
Dear God, cut me some slack

They found the body behind Frankie’s shack
He just would not stop talking back
I didn’t mean to do him just like that

Grant me anything or nothing at all
Just get off of my back
I need to be free and I need some money
Hey God, cut me some slack
