 I can't  stand to see a grown man
 Hit a little  kid
 Or get cussed  out for somethin'
 Not even knowin' what  he did
 See a man any man
 Messin' 'round with your best  friend's wife
 Or sit helpless  in the corner
 And watch a man drink  away his life
 I'm gonna clean  up my soul lord
 You don't owe  me no back pay
 I'm gonna tell  that to the devil
 When I see  him today
 Walked  to a graveyard
 May they all  rest in peace
 I wish they could all  go to heaven
 I bet two did  at least
 Someone that don't feel sorry
 For the helpless  and the blind
 Kinda makes you wanna pick  up the bible
 And memorize every  single line
 I'm gonna clean  up my soul lord
 You don't owe  me no back pay
 I'm gonna tell  that to the devil
 When I see  him today
 See a man walk by a beggar
 With an empty  tin cup
 Kinda makes you wanna grab  him
 By the back of the neck
 Knock him down and never  pick him up
 I'm gonna clean  up my soul lord
 You don't owe  me no back pay
 I'm gonna tell  that to the devil
 When I see  him today
 I'm gonna tell that to the devil
 When I see  him today

I c[G]an't stand to see a grown man
Hit a l[F]ittle kid
Or get c[C]ussed out for somethin'
Not even knowin' wh[G]at he did

See a man any man
Messin' 'round with your b[F]est friend's wife
Or sit h[C]elpless in the corner
And watch a man dr[G]ink away his life
I'm gonna cl[C]ean up my soul lord
You don't [G]owe me no back [Em]pay
I'm gonna t[G]ell that to the devil
When I s[D]ee him tod[G]ay
W[G]alked to a graveyard
May they [F]all rest in peace
I wish they could [C]all go to heaven
I bet two d[G]id at least

Someone that don't feel sorry

See a man walk by a beggar
With an [F]empty tin cup
Kinda makes you wanna gr[C]ab him

By the back of the neck
Knock him down and n[G]ever pick him up
I'm gonna cl[C]ean up my soul lord
You don't [G]owe me no back [Em]pay
I'm gonna t[G]ell that to the devil
When I s[D]ee him tod[G]ay

I'm gonna tell that to the devil
When I s[D]ee him tod[C]ay [G]
