lyrics

WHAT I HAD COMING

Got no good reason for the things I’ve done
The good and the bad they seem to find me on their own
Killed a man in Indiana but I did not run
And my world came undone

Judge gave me 30 years for all my wrongs
Told that same story though and Jesus let me off
Now I’m all squared away with heaven and the law
But it don’t change how far I have fallen

CHORUS 1
I’ll be the first to say It’s hard to explain when
You don’t get what you deserve
For as far as I had gone I did not get what I had coming

I met a girl but she was not my type
She walked the straight and narrow road I’d never tried
But she saw something in me no one else could find
And was the first to stand by my side

So I took her hand and with a ring and a vow
We dreamed all about a life we’d never had
I learned something there standing in the aisle
Life can turn either way on a dime

CHORUS 1
I’ll be the first to say It’s hard to explain when
You get what you did not deserve
For as far as I had gone I did not get what I had coming

BRIDGE
When it seems hope just can’t be found
Cause you missed the boat your first time around
Well grace it always makes the rounds
In the places that your down and out
