Lyrics
I think it was a Wednesday
About seven o'clock
My folks at a church
Where the tambourines never stop
A red back hymnal
Can part the Red Sea
Money in the plate
Miracles are free
I know he saved his son
But could he save me
I think it was a Wednesday
About seven o'clock
Walked in to the bedroom
Cause they keep door unlocked
I prayed to the lord
He don't hear no more
The only answer
Is in my dads sock drawer
Smith & Wesson gave me her blessing
Sorry mom
I hate that I'm confessin
I never thought I'd do it
But now it's in my hand
I never thought a finger
Could take me to the promised land
I know, You hate me
Like I hate me too
But Father please forgive me
For what I'm about to do
The good book says you love me
But tonight I need some proof
Only 16
Not a boy not a man
I hear the devil sayin
That this is God's plan
Just pull back the hammer
And let her drop
All them voices
I betcha they'll stop
I never thought I'd do it
But this is where I stand
I never thought a finger
Could take me to the promised land
I know, You hate me
Like I hate me too
But Father please forgive me
For what I'm about to do
The good book says you love me
But tonight I need some proof
Not sure why I didn't do it
Put it back up in the top drawer
Maybe it's the thought of my parents
Seeing me on their bedroom floor
On a Wednesday
About seven o'clock
No red back hymnals
Where All the tambourines stopped
Wasn't at a church
When I fell down on my knees
