Tear This Cabin Down

You know people might just say anything
To try and save their skin
And the bible says we must stand alone
‘cause we're damn sure gonna sin
And there's stories to help us walk that line
Commandments to get our crowns
But if the truth was knowed about us all
We'd have to tear that cabin down
Tear this cabin down
And start all over again
Tear this cabin down
Only god knows where we've been
Tear this cabin down
There's a hell for us all
Tear this cabin down
Well cain rose up to slay abel
So they ran him out of town
And deep down in our souls and hearts
Old cain is still around
And he likes to tell us secrets
He likes to whisper in our ears
That if the people knowed
All the meanness we've done
They'd throw us outta here
They'll tear this cabin down
And start all over again
Tear this cabin down
Only god knows where we've been
Tear this cabin down
There's a hell somewhere for us all
Tear this cabin down
So if you want to get into heaven
You better get down on your knees
And try to be a better man
Than the one you used to be
And don't go meddlin' with somebody else
It's hard telling what you'll find
And if the truth was knowed about us all
We'd have to stay here for all time
Tear this cabin down
Oh lord let me be the best that i can be
Tear this cabin down
Oh lord, let the truth be what i see
Tear this cabin down
Yeah lord, there must be a heaven for us all
Tear this cabin down
Tear this cabin down
Tear this cabin down
Oh lord let me be the best that i can be
Tear this cabin down
Oh lord, let the truth be what i see
Tear this cabin down
Yeah lord, there must be a heaven for us all
Tear this cabin down
Tear this cabin down
