[00:11.69]Daddy's been a back-row Baptist,
[00:14.58]With his share of front-row sin.
[00:17.99]His Saturday night still on his breathe,
[00:21.18]Every Sunday when he'd walk in.
[00:24.49]He's never led the Benediction,
[00:27.90]He's never sang in the choir.
[00:32.29]But he's an angel with no halo,
[00:36.26]An' one wing in the fire.
[00:41.15]
[00:44.94]Mamma lives by the Bible,
[00:48.37]The Bible lives by the bed.
[00:51.61]An' she's lied alone so many nights,
[00:54.74]With scriptures in her head.
[00:58.17]Prayin': "Good Lord, just be with him,
[01:01.26]"I know his Faith is tired,
[01:06.25]"But he's an angel with no halo,
[01:10.13]"An' one wing in the fire."
[01:14.84]
[01:15.24]"An' I know he lives a little left of livin' right,
[01:21.90]"An he's come close to goin' way to far a few times.
[01:28.59]"But I'd trade a thousand prayers if just one prayer would come true:
[01:35.19]"Lord, please believe in him, like I believe in you."
[01:45.47]
[01:46.22]Dady's always been there for me,
[01:49.16]From T-Ball to touchdowns.
[01:52.58]Fixed my car an' fixed my heart,
[01:55.60]When they've been broken down.
[01:59.02]I know he calls for more forgiveness,
[02:02.63]Than most folks do require,
[02:06.85]But he's an angel with no halo,
[02:11.18]An' one wing in the fire.
[02:15.62]
[02:16.04]An' I know he lives a little left of livin' right,
[02:22.51]An he's come close to goin' way to far a few times.
[02:29.26]But I'd trade a thousand prayers if just one prayer would come true:
[02:36.23]Lord, please believe in him, like I believe in you.
[02:47.69]
[02:50.25]Well, I just can't imagine,
[02:53.29]What Heaven might be like.
[02:56.46]If me an' Mamma make it,
[02:59.86]Wiithout Daddy by our side.
[03:03.11]Lord, could you please remember,
[03:06.74]When it's time to call us higher:
