Blameless Songtext
von The Pine Box Boys

I may be shiftless and shameless
But I′m otherwise blameless, my son
And I'm a likeable man
If you forget all the things that I done
And I ain′t really sure
When I became that which you cure with a gun
And it's madness, it's madness
But I′m otherwise blameless, my son

Lord, turn me into a snake and teach me to kill
Send a great bird to devour me, if that be thy will
I′ll be judged by the law of the talon after I fall
And if a big crow comes to eat me, I won't mind at all


I may be shiftless and shameless
But I′m otherwise blameless, my son
And I'm a likeable man
If you forget all the things that I done
And I ain′t really sure
When I became that which you cure with a gun
It's madness, it′s madness
But I'm otherwise blameless, my son

There were some pretty bad notions
My emotions were founded upon
But there's worse things you′ll find in my closet
After I′m gone
Bullets are a lot like forgiveness comin' from you
You probably need seventy times seven
Before you get through

I may be shiftless and shameless
But I′m otherwise blameless, my son
And I'm a likeable man
If you forget all the things that I done
And I ain′t really sure
When I became that which you cure with a gun
It's madness, it′s madness
But I'm otherwise blameless, my son

I tried to do better, but time's gettin′ tired of me
I tried to forget her when they buried her under the tree
The older I get, the less likely I bet I′ll be saved
And time's gettin′ sick of my whinin', so I′m off to my grave


I may be shiftless and shameless
But I'm otherwise blameless, my son
And I′m a likeable man
If you forget all the things that I done
And I ain't really sure
When I became that which you cure with a gun
But it's madness, it′s madness
I′m otherwise blameless, my son
It's madness, it′s madness
But I'm otherwise blameless, my son
