Private Property

Help me, lord, for what I've done I broke the law and I'm on the run I'm begging for forgiveness please Got a wife at home and kids to feed Honey, can't bear to go to jail Haven't hurt nobody but myself I got busted planting seeds On my private property And the DA's tryin' to prove a point And lock my ass up in the joint (Oh, lock 'em up) Help me, lord, for what I've done They came in with flashing guns Now I'm out here on the streets Begging change for food to eat No one even looks at me They treat me like a circus freak Miss my home and family I'm terrified of the police Can't afford no lawyer's help To keep me from rotting in a cell I ain't a violent man, I ain't no thief Just grew some big ol' plants from tiny seeds It might be a crime, but it ain't no sin Planting flowers in your garden Help me, lord, for what I've done Broke the law and I'm on the run I got busted planting seeds On my private property
