Just A Sinner lyrics

Today I was gonna conquer the world,

Go on ahead and make a stand.

Today I saw an old friend a dyin'

And as he lay there no one lent a hand,

I'm gonna call you up,

You'll forsake the one you love,

Though I've left you many times before

You are just a sinner.

I am the one who understands,

You were my one and only man.

I was lost, now I'm the winner.

You stand there waitin' by the shore,

But I don't come that way no more,

Because you are just a sinner.

Today I was gonna hold out my hand,

Reach up for that light and let it shine.

Today I have no light to guide me

Feelin' like the one they left behind,

So I called you up,

You left your love and took me anyway,

Though I've left you many times before

You are just a sinner.

I was the only one, you see,

You were the only one for me,

I was lost, now I'm the winner.

You'll keep the candle burning bright,

But you know I won't be home tonight,

Because you are just a sinner.

Today I was gonna conquer the world,

Go on ahead and make a stand.

Today I saw an old friend a dyin',

And as he lay there, no one lent a hand.
