Blood Don’t Need Forgivin’

Shot a man at break of day, The dust just turned and blew away. Didn’t flinch, didn’t pray, Some things you can’t unsay.

Every road I ride alone, Every sin becomes my own.

Blood don’t need forgivin’, It tells the truth, it stays. Law may bless the livin’, But the dust remembers names. I ain’t runnin’, I ain’t hidin’ — Blood don’t need forgivin’.

Whiskey burns, the past runs cold, Faith gets tired, the heart grows old. You can preach or you can lie, The truth still looks you in the eye.

Every scar I tried to hide, Lives in the fire deep inside.

Blood don’t need forgivin’, It stains the hands of men. Heaven keeps its distance, Till you come back again. I ain’t beggin’, I ain’t strivin’ — Blood don’t need forgivin’.

Ain’t no choir where I roam, Just wind and the sound of bones.

Blood don’t need forgivin’, It writes in fire and clay. I paid my dues, I made my way — And I ain’t lookin’ to be saved. If hell’s the road I’m ridin’ — Blood don’t need forgivin’.
