I was walking through the counters of a national concern
And a cash machine was spitting by my shoulder
And I saw the multitude of faces, honest, rich and clean
As the merchandise exchanged and money roared
And a woman hot with worry slyly slipped a tin of a stewing steak
Into the paper bag at her side
And her face was white with fear in case her actions were observed
So she closed her eyes to keep her conscience blind
CHORUS #1:
Crying "God knows I'm good, God knows I'm good
God knows I'm good, God may look the other way today
God knows I'm good, God knows I'm good F E Am Am/G E (intro) God knows I'm good, God may look the other way today"
Then she moved toward the exit clutching tightly at her paper bag Perspiration trickled down her forehead And her heart it leapt inside her as the hand laid on her shoulder She was led away bewildered and amazed Through her deafened ears the cash machines were shrieking on the counter As her escort asked her softly for her name And a crowd of honest people rushed to help a tired old lady Who had fainted to the whirling wooden floor
CHORUS #2: Crying "God knows I'm good, God knows I'm good God knows I'm good, surely God won't look the other way God knows I'm good, God knows I'm good God knows I'm good, surely God won't look the other way" Hey!
