canaan smith - green lyrics
[verse 1]
you could see the flames
two counties over
the night lightning struck that hill
those oaks that burned
were 300 years old
before god had them k!lled
and last time i looked
the good book didn’t have nothin’
against no trees
and you wonder why i start my morning
praying on my knees, singing
[chorus]
lord have mercy on a mortal sinner
lord i see you workin’
burnin’ up my timber
turnin’ all my pride and l+st
into ashes, smoke and dust
i was just tryin’ to make a little green
[verse 2]
h+ll i never made a dime off a copper still
but that grass sold like gold
grew it ten foot high
in the holler by day
and by night i sold my soul
a couple ounces at a time
thеy got theirs and i got mine
[chorus]
lord have mеrcy on a mortal sinner
lord i see you workin’
burnin’ up my timber
turnin’ all my pride and l+st
into ashes, smoke and dust
i was just tryin’ to make a little green
[verse 3]
turns out they caught
wind of me down at the dea
and that fiery bolt of lightning
was a streak of saving grace
guess it paid off
i put plenty every sunday in the plate
i ain’t sayin’ he’s a stoner
but i do know jesus saves
[chorus]
lord have mercy on a mortal sinner
lord i see you workin’
burnin’ up my timber
turnin’ all my pride and l+st
into ashes, smoke and dust
i was just tryin’ to make a little
[chorus]
lord have mercy on a mortal sinner
lord i see you workin’
burnin’ up my timber
turnin’ all my pride and l+st
into ashes, smoke and dust
i was just tryin’ to make a little green
