(Hogan)
shut your little mouth my son
keep it closed, dont tell no one
now lets pretend, we’re blind again
if god forgives me — I know you can
hush now baby, say no word
daddy killed the mockingbird
stay with mommy hold her tight
she wont hurt you — daddy might
baby’s in the cradle
mom is on the table
screaming while she’s able
Chorus:
I will learn from your mistakes (x4)
sunday morning, what’s the cost
without his love, they say I’m lost.
the wooden house behind the cross
is where they say the sins are washed
But father with the book in hand
make us try to understand
why children cry when you are near
your sins are made behind the peer
look at your behavior
in the name of your savior
I’ll do you a favor
Chorus:
I will learn from your mistakes (x4)
so many preyed for you, but I don’t know if it ever got through
so many touched by you, but not in the way they wanted to
I don’t know …… the reasons why.
I don’t know….. .. the reasons why……..
