Honest Man
Well I was born a bad man
I've been running since I was ten
I was caught once stealing candy
And I swore it would never happen again
I swore it would never happen again
I can run all around this town
The fruit of my labor is gold
Harvesting the coin from the pocket
So I won't have to work when I'm old
I won't have to work when I'm old
I say oh
I tell them catch me once and you're good
You'll never do it again lord
Preacher said that Jesus Christ
Will rescue me from all my sin
I say catch me once and you're good
Oh you'll never do it again
Preacher said that Jesus Christ
Will rescue me from all my sin
So lord I'm gonna be an honest man
Oh yes I am
Gonna be
I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be an honest man
Lord I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be an honest man
I was caught on the bad end
Of a friendly trade gone wrong
With too many watches in my pockets
I got no time to get back home
No time to get back home
But I can escape from the best
Oh lord no jail holds me down
Even a young man can grow tired
Of always running around
Always running around
Oh
I tell them catch me once and you're good
You'll never do it again lord
Preacher said that Jesus Christ
Will rescue me from all my sin
I say catch me once and you're good
Oh you'll never do it again
Preacher said that Jesus Christ
Will rescue me from all my sin
So lord I'm gonna be an honest man
Oh yes I am
Gonna be
I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be an honest man
Lord I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be an honest man
Help me Lord I'm tired
I've got a woman who wants my name
Heaven knows I love her the most
So I'm going to be an honest man
Cause she thinks I'm an honest man
Finally they set me free
I'm running to get back home
Cause the woman I've got waiting on me
Is sweeter than silver and gold
Sweeter than silver and gold
I've been running since I was ten
I was caught once stealing candy
And I swore it would never happen again
I swore it would never happen again
I can run all around this town
The fruit of my labor is gold
Harvesting the coin from the pocket
So I won't have to work when I'm old
I won't have to work when I'm old
I say oh
I tell them catch me once and you're good
You'll never do it again lord
Preacher said that Jesus Christ
Will rescue me from all my sin
I say catch me once and you're good
Oh you'll never do it again
Preacher said that Jesus Christ
Will rescue me from all my sin
So lord I'm gonna be an honest man
Oh yes I am
Gonna be
I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be an honest man
Lord I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be an honest man
I was caught on the bad end
Of a friendly trade gone wrong
With too many watches in my pockets
I got no time to get back home
No time to get back home
But I can escape from the best
Oh lord no jail holds me down
Even a young man can grow tired
Of always running around
Always running around
Oh
I tell them catch me once and you're good
You'll never do it again lord
Preacher said that Jesus Christ
Will rescue me from all my sin
I say catch me once and you're good
Oh you'll never do it again
Preacher said that Jesus Christ
Will rescue me from all my sin
So lord I'm gonna be an honest man
Oh yes I am
Gonna be
I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be an honest man
Lord I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be an honest man
Help me Lord I'm tired
I've got a woman who wants my name
Heaven knows I love her the most
So I'm going to be an honest man
Cause she thinks I'm an honest man
Finally they set me free
I'm running to get back home
Cause the woman I've got waiting on me
Is sweeter than silver and gold
Sweeter than silver and gold
