  • Found a quarter on the sidewalk
    A love letter in a shoebox
    I found a snake underneath a rock
    Wish I could find forgiveness
    A sand dollar on the seashore
    An old dresser in an antique store
    A rusty whistle in the bottom drawer
    Wish I could find forgiveness

    It ain't hiding in no bottle on a shelf
    Or lying in the bed of someone else
    I can't feel it on some Sunday morning pew
    One sleepless night it dawned on me
    The peace I need so desperately
    Is buried in the one place I can't get to
    Girl, it's gotta come from you

    Was too stubborn for my own good
    I never listened like I knew I should
    I don't deserve it but I wish you would
    Find me some forgiveness
    For every night I wasn't there
    For all the times I didn't care
    I admit that it was never fair
    Wish I could find forgiveness

    It ain't hiding in no bottle on a shelf
    Or lying in the bed of someone else
    I can't feel it on some Sunday morning pew
    But one sleepless night it dawned on me
    The peace I need so desperately
    Is buried in the one place I can't get to
    Girl, it's gotta come from you

    I've seen a broom run across a floor
    Taking with it what was there before
    And that's the kind of clean I came here looking for

    It ain't hiding in no bottle on a shelf
    Or lying in the bed with someone else
    I can't feel it on some Sunday morning pew
    But one sleepless night it dawned on me
    The peace I need so desperately
    Is buried in the one place I can't get to
    Girl, it's gotta come from you
