(Verse)
Mama (C)tried on the FM, mine (F)cried on a (C)pew
(C)Daddy wore out his belt and I (G)still made the news
And (F)he always (C)said it hurt (G)him more than (Am)me
And (F)one night I (C)heard daddy (G)down on his knees

(Chorus)
He said (C)I've done my dirt and I've been (F)washed in the (C)water
Lord, (C)I go to church and I'm still (G)learning the gospel
But to-(F)night, Lord I (C)pray for our (G)sons and our (Am)daughters
(F)Don't make 'em (C)pay for the (G)sins of the (Am)father
I (F)pray they don't (C)pay for the (G)sins of the (C)father

(Instrumental)

(Verse)
Well, I (C)wish I could say I raised (F)all my hell (C)young
Never (C)thought I'd see 30, fast lanes, (G)rough crowds and guns
But you (F)sent me an (C)Angel and then (G)blessed me with (Am)more
And those (F)little pink (C)lines put my (G)knees on the floor

(Chorus)
Said (C)I've done my dirt and I've been (F)washed in the (C)water
Lord, (C)I go to church and I'm still (G)learning the gospel
But to-(F)night, Lord I (C)pray for our (G)sons and our (Am)daughters
(F)Don't make 'em (C)pay for the (G)sins of the (Am)father
I (F)pray they don't (C)pay for the (G)sins of the (C)father

Lord, (C)I've done my dirt and I've been (F)washed in the (C)water

(F)Don't make 'em (C)pay for the (G)sins of the (Am)father
I (F)pray they don't (C)pay for the (G)sins of the (C)father
