Lyrics:

We were running through the red lights

in a hurry to get to nowhere

in a white Beretta

We'll go to Memphis in the morning

get it over with

and in a couple days you'll feel a lot better

I was raised in the church

I was washed in the blood

and we all were saved before we even left home

If his love is unconditional

why do I feel so miserable

why are you digging your nails in the styrofoam

It was so many years ago

Oh and I just didn't know

but that ain't no excuse

For being who you are, I thank you and I'm sorry

for what you went through

I was sitting at a redlight

listening to Son Volt

May the wind take your troubles away

Could have been somebody's father

Couldn't boil a pot of water

I was 19 years old in 1998

Raised in the church

Washed in the blood

and we all were saved before we even left home

I thank God you weren't brought up like me

with all that shame and certainty

And I'm sorry you had to go in that room alone

It was so many years ago

oh and I just didn't know

That ain't no excuse

For being who you are, I thank you and I'm sorry

for what I put you through

It was so many years ago

oh and I just didn't know

but that ain't no excuse

I thank you for your grace

for the dreams we got to chase

for what you chose to do

We were running through the red lights

in a hurry to get to nowhere

In a white Beretta
