Lyrics of Went out to find a man

My daddy was a cop, and i knew where he kept his gun
Now i wasn't supposed to touch it, sometimes you do what's gotta be done
Went out to find a man, who put his hands where he should not
He was my girlfriend's father, i's gonna put him in a plot
I know the lord says forgive or be forgiven not
But those are hard words when you're mind is seared with flame
Concrete in your heart, and kerosene in your veins

Went out to find a man, lord, went out to find a man
Out to find a man, lord, went out to find a man

Drivin' round hell bound, i was goin' to find my man
Some folks need to learn a lesson, before they understand
Right then the lord's angel appeared to me
And he said lest you be judged, judge not
And his words float high, above my fury's din
Don't hate the sinner, but you can hate the sin

Went out to find a man, lord, went out to find a man
Out to find a man, lord, went out to find a man

Went out to find my man but instead i was found
And when i saw my girl she fell to the ground
She cried thank you lord for not giving him a shot
She cried thank you lord for you and he are all i got
And the lord says forgive or be forgiven not
They're still hard words with forgiveness on your tongue
Gotta love your enemies despite what they done

Went out to find a man, lord, went out to find a man
Out to find a man, lord, went out to find a man

Went out to find a man, lord, went out to find a man
Out to find a man, lord, went out to find a man
