Sinner Like You - Parson James

Mama, I sinned again, I went to bed with another man

Know the town won’t understand, are you still gon' hold my hand?

Say mama, I broke the rules, gotta face these holy fools

It felt cool when they heard the news, guess I better give my sunday shoes

Oh mama, what’s the use?

We all saw what they done to you

You felt stares when they heard the truth

Say, felt stares when they heard the truth

Oh mama, we’re not alone, don’t know what they do at home

But everybody got a bag of bones, hey, oh we all got a bag of bones

Altar shaking, walls are caving, yeah

Hold your blessings, I’m confessing, yeah

Somebody say a prayer for me, cause papa didn’t preach

And if he did, I’d still be wrong

And I’ve been down on both my knees, why don’t you wanna see?

Why don’t you wanna see?

I’m a sinner like you

Father I testify, don’t wanna tell another lie

So will you look me in the eye, or am I out of sight and out of mind?

Say father, I’m not ashamed, I got no one to blame

So I go naming names if all of us are just the same

Altar shaking, walls are caving, yeah

Hold your blessings, I’m confessing yeah

Somebody say a prayer for me, cause papa didn’t preach

And if he did, I’d still be wrong

And I’ve been down on both my knees, why don’t you wanna see?

Why don’t you wanna see?

I’m a sinner like you

A sinner like you

I’m just a sinner like you

Like you, I’m just a

I’m a sinner like you

Should I go, should I stay?

Are they ever gonna change?

Should we make our amends, just to hear them say amen?

If I run, run away, mama, would you be afraid?

No, when the stones start to fly, who gon' be by my side?

Somebody say a prayer for me, cause papa didn’t preach

And if he did, I’d still be wrong

And I’ve been down on both my knees, why don’t you wanna see?

Why don’t you wanna see?

I’m a sinner like you

A sinner like you

I’m just a sinner like you

Like you, I’m just a

I’m a sinner like you
