I made a mistake Lord

I thought I was wrong

I said take it and git

She said got it and gone

So I'm writing it all down

In this stupid ol' song

I made a mistake Lord

I thought I was wrong



I'm a lot like ol' Ripley

On "Believe It Or Not"

I told a big lie Lord

And then I forgot

I thought I was Jesus

And believe me I'm not

I thought I was right

And I was wrong by a lot

I feel a little like Elvis

When he was alone

I made another mistake Lord

I thought I was wrong



I made a mistake Lord

And it's all on me

I wouldn't admit it

But it's easy to see

So if anyone's praying

A request I would make

Is to mention my name 'cause

I made a mistake



I'm a lot like ol' Ripley

On "Believe It Or Not"

I told a big lie Lord

And then I forgot

I thought I was Jesus

And believe me I'm not

I thought I was right

And I was wrong by a lot

I feel a little like Elvis

When he was alone

I made another mistake Lord

I thought I was wrong

I made another mistake Lord

I thought I was wrong
