Jelly roll - Nail Me

Never been a stranger to nights in the county jail Been there a time or two, ain't proud of it myself Might smoke a little weed, I've heard the grass is green There on the other side, ain't always what it seems But I won't hide behind a thousand lies At least I know who I am Nail me to the cross outside Of your ivory tower where you sit so high On that horse you rode as I stand here alone So hit me with the stones you cast Your shadow looks back while you stare through glass You don't think I know, I'm a jester before your throne How's it feel up there, holier-than-thou? To live without a care, perfect in and out I won't hide behind a thousand lies At least I know who I am Nail me to the cross outside Of your ivory tower where you sit so high On that horse you rode as I stand here alone So hit me with the stones you cast Your shadow looks back while you stare through glass You don't think I know, I'm a jester before your throne Faith, true faith It is your faith that has saved you There's nothing that you have done yourselves It is a beautiful gift of God, not because of you So that no man can boast of His goodness
