Forgiveness Lyrics by Chris Young

A.M.

2013

[Verse 1]
Found a quarter on the sidewalk
A love letter in a shoebox
I found a snake underneath a rock
Wish I could find forgiveness
A sand dollar on the seashore
An old dresser in an antique store
A rusty whistle in the bottom drawer
Wish I could find forgiveness

[Chorus]
It ain't hiding in no bottle on a shelf
Or lying in the bed of someone else
I can't feel it on some Sunday morning pew
And one sleepless night it dawned on me
The piece I need so desperately
Is buried in the one place I can't get to
Girl, it's gotta come from you

[Verse 2]
Was too stubborn for my own good
I never listened like I knew I should
I don't deserve it but I wish you would
Find me some forgiveness
For every night I wasn't there
For all the times I didn't care
I admit it was never fair
Wish I could find forgiveness

[Chorus]
It ain't hiding in no bottle on a shelf
Or lying in the bed of someone else
I can't feel it on some Sunday morning pew
And one sleepless night it dawned on me
The piece I need so desperately
Is buried in the one place I can't get to
Girl, it's gotta come from you

[Bridge]
I've seen a broom run across a floor
Talking with it that was there before
And that's the kind of clean I came here looking for

[Chorus]
It ain't hiding in no bottle on a shelf
Or lying in the bed of someone else
I can't feel it on some Sunday morning pew
And one sleepless night it dawned on me
The piece I need so desperately
Is buried in the one place I can't get to
Girl, it's gotta come from you

[Outro]
Wish I could find forgiveness
