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
