As recorded by Canaan Smith
(2024 release)
[Intro]
Am C G F
[Verse 1]
AmYou could see the flames two counties over
CThe night lightning struck that hill
GThose oaks that burned were 300 years old
FBefore God had them killed
AmAnd last time I looked the Good Book
CDidn't have nothin' against no trees
GAnd you wonder why I start my morning
FPraying on my knees, singing
[Chorus]
Am CLord, have mercy on a mortal sinner
GLord, I see you workin'
FBurnin' up my timber
AmTurnin' all my pride and lust
CInto ash and smoke and dust
G AmI was just tryin' to make a little green
[Verse 2]
GHell, I never made a dime off a copper still
CBut that grass sold like gold
GGrew it ten foot high in the holler by day
FAnd by night I sold my soul
GA couple ounces at a time
FThey got theirs and I got mine
[Chorus]
Am CLord, have mercy on a mortal sinner
GLord, I see you workin'
FBurnin' up my timber
AmTurnin' all my pride and lust
CInto ash and smoke and dust
G F G FI was just tryin' to make a little green
[Guitar Solo]
F Am F G
[Bridge]
Am C
Turns out they caught wind of me down at the DEA
GAnd that fiery bolt of lightning was a streak of saving grace
Am CGuess it paid off I put plenty every Sunday in the plate
G FI ain't sayin' He's a stoner, but I Do know Jesus saves
[Out-Chorus]
Am CLord, have mercy on a mortal sinner
GLord, I see you workin'
FBurnin' up my timber
AmTurnin' all my pride and lust
CInto ash and smoke and dust
G FI was just tryin' to make
Am CLord, have mercy on a mortal sinner
GLord, I see you workin'
FBurnin' up my timber
AmTurnin' all my pride and lust
CInto ash and smoke and dust
G F G AmI was just tryin' to make a little green
