[Verse 1] I was raised on a cracked back road Red dirt on my shoes Mama said keep your head low But the night still knew I learned blame from a small-town mouth And I learned how to hide Every door I ever knocked on Opened to the same cold side [Pre-Chorus] If the sky wants my name Let it take its time I kept one hand on the wound And one hand on the line [Chorus] Born to die a sinner Born to die a sinner Tell me who gets clean When the truth runs thinner Born to die a sinner (ah-ah) born to die a sinner [Verse 2] Got a Bible in the glove box And a bruise in my chest Every good thing I touch Turns to smoke in my breath I’ve been washed by the river Still I taste that fire Like a match in the dark Like a wire stretched tighter [Pre-Chorus] If the sky wants my name Let it take its time I kept one hand on the wound And one hand on the line [Chorus] Born to die a sinner Born to die a sinner Tell me who gets clean When the truth runs thinner Born to die a sinner (ah-ah) born to die a sinner [Bridge] Maybe grace is a door I was scared to find Maybe mercy still waits On the other side If I fall on my knees Will you still call me friend? I’m still learning the shape Of an honest amen [Chorus] Born to die a sinner Born to die a sinner Tell me who gets clean When the truth runs thinner Born to die a sinner (ah-ah) born to die a sinner
