Man Of Conviction

I am a man of conviction, I shattered these walls

Spent my life in a bottle, cut myself had to crawl

Stared down a barrel of a 45, dared the man on the other side

To have the guts to pull the trigger

I am a man of conviction

CHORUS

Convicted of loving one girl too much

Sentenced to live without her touch

Convicted of somehow forgetting God

Sentenced to life of hell on earth

And they ain?t coming back, I?ve never known either to lie

It wasn?t my intention, I am a man of conviction

A promise made a promise broken, I?ve left nothing uncertain

I took the lower road, my back bent to carry my load

I broke hearts along the way, made a fool of myself most days

It wasn?t my intention, but I am a man of conviction

CHORUS x2

No don?t you cry for me, I?ve made this bed where I lie

It wasn?t my intention, I am a man of conviction

It?s too late for intervention, I am a man of conviction
