lyrics

​I had a baby out of wedlock
Her old man got me in a headlock
I was an unwed father
But don't bother feeling sorry for me

I took a lot of LSD
I smoked a lot of mar-ja-weenie
But it did not help me
It did not set me free

Jesus, why'd you go and do it
Why’d you help a guy like me
You saved me, you forgave me
And I swear you set me free
Aw, you took away my problems
One by one
I guess you knew what you was doing
When you sent your son

You know the way that I’ve been living
Has been taking without giving
And I hurt a lot of people
And I lost my friends

I spent a little time in prison
But I know the Lord has risen
And I'll never need
To be locked up again

Oh Jesus, why'd you go and do it
Why’d you help a guy like me
Saved me, you forgave me
And I swear you set me free
Aw, you took away my problems
One by one
I guess you knew what you was doing
When you sent your son

I think you knew what you was doing
When you sent your son
