Innocent Man Lyrics

No blood upon my hands
No smoking gun
No witness that could testify
To anything I've done
I could look that judge right in the eye
If I ever took the stand
But I'm not an innocent man

No jury could convict me
Of breaking any law
I'll never meet the jailer
'Cause I never will get caught
But the man here in the mirror
He clearly understands
I'm not an innocent man

I'm a brother
I'm a husband and a son
Oh, Father
I've known not what I've done
Forgive me
And help me to forgive myself

Just 'cause I get away with it
It doesn't make it right
It doesn't make the deeds I've done
Any less a crime
Even if the world sees me on that righteous path
I'm not an innocent man

I'm a brother
I'm a husband and a son
Oh, Father
I've known not what I've done
Forgive me
And help me to forgive myself

When I meet the maker
There's nothing I can hide
He'll see all the guilt and shame
I've buried down inside
I'll ask Him to forgive me
And I'll see if He can
'Cause I'm not an innocent man
I'm not an innocent man
I'm not an innocent man
