God Knows My Name

I'm very silent

I'm very silent, now my back's to the wall

I keep my mouth shut, hardly breathing at all

The biggest officer that you've ever seen

Mean as the devil and he's looking for me

Oh

God knows my name

Papa always told me that, oh

God knows my name

My friends and I, we had a little fun

Ain't not much to it, still I'm on the run

The biggest officer that you've ever seen

Yes, I can tell you, now he's looking for me

Oh

God knows my name

Papa always told me that, oh

God knows my name

I got some friends and we were fooling around

I got some friends that I don't wanna let down

Hey look at me, I know I've done wrong

Now can I push it just a little more

Now can I push it just a little bit more

I keep silent with my back to the wall

I keep my mouth shut, hardly breathing at all

The officer wondering where I might be

There's many of them, but they won't catch me

Oh

God knows my name

Papa always told me that, oh

God knows my name

Papa always told me that, oh

God knows my name
