officer
please don't haul me in
though i'm drunk again
i can explain
i swear to you
for a week i have
been completely dry
until tonight
he's been such a good example
everyhing he's done for me
i couldn't bear to let him down
monday night
brother sat me down
very graciously
and explained
if i'm going to help you
i must make it very clear
brother that i love you
but certainly i hate your sin
so you see you can't arrest me
i swore i'd be careful not to
further shame the family name
