God Can Watch (I Don’t Care)

Church bell rang, I didn’t bow, Dust on my boots, blood on my brow. Preacher said, “Son, you best beware,” I tipped my hat — said, “God can stare.”

They wrote my name in a leather book, Tried to measure the souls I took. But mercy’s just a word up there — Down here, we settle things with dare.

I don’t pray before I pull the trigger, Don’t confess what I’ve done. If heaven’s counting all my sins, It better count them one by one.

God can watch — I don’t care. Let Him judge the smoke and air. I’ve walked through fire, I’ve breathed despair, And I’m still standing right here. No halo hanging in my hair, No cross for me to bear. If lightning strikes, I’ll still declare — God can watch… I don’t care.

Gravestones know my silhouette, Moonlight sees what sun forgets. I ain’t hiding from the sky — Just living till the day I die.

Sheriff’s star and holy flame, Both tried branding me with shame. But fear’s a leash I never wear, And guilt’s a debt I don’t declare.

If judgment day comes riding in, With thunder in the air — It’ll find me loading one last round, Sitting in my chair.

God can watch — I don’t care. Let the angels stop and stare. I’ve made peace with the sins I bear, And I ain’t asking for repair. No mercy written in my prayer, No trembling anywhere. If heaven wants a fight tonight — It knows exactly where.

I ain’t against Him — I just ain’t afraid. If He built this wild frontier, Then He knows how I was made.

God can watch — I don’t care. I’ve survived what most won’t dare. When the dust climbs up the stairs, I’ll be rocking in that chair. And when the final trumpet blares — I’ll rise from anywhere. Let the sky crack open wide…

God can watch — I don’t care.
