Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I ain't ever worn a halo
Don't suppose I ever will
As far as saving me goes
It's a battle up a hill
But I keep climbing, trying, fighting
[Verse 2]
Got a King James in the dresser
And I take it out sometimes
But Lord knows I ain't measured
Up to what's inside
And they say that that's OK
But I keep praying for the day
[Verse 3]
That I can open up that good book
And heaven don't look like it's out of reach
When it feels like those apostles are giving me the gospel
And not the third degree
I just want it to read
Like bible verses and not the bible verses me
[Verse 4]
I woke up in last night's clothes
And it's whiskey on my lips
If God's looking down I know
He's really looking down on this
But I have faith that I can change
I keep praying for the day
[Verse 5]
That I can open up that good book
And heaven don't look like it's out of reach
When it feels like those apostles are giving me the gospel
And not the third degree
I just want it to read
Like bible verses and not the bible verses me
[Verse 6]
I'm just trying to give myself a little grace
Till those words and me get on the same page
[Verse 7]
And I can open up that good book
And heaven don't look like it's out of reach
When it feels like those apostles are giving me the gospel
And not the third degree
I just want it to read
Like bible verses and not the bible verses me
