DADDY'S BEEN
A BACK ROW BAPTIST
WITH HIS SHARE OF
FRONT ROW SIN
HIS SATURDAY NIGHT
STILL ON HIS BREATH
EVERY SUNDAY
WHEN HE'D WALK IN
HE'S NEVER LED
THE BENEDICTION
HE'S NEVER SANG IN
THE CHOIR
BUT HE'S AN ANGEL
WITH NO HALO
AND ONE WING IN
THE FIRE
MAMA LIVES BY
THE BIBLE
THE BIBLE LIVES BY
THE BED
AND SHE'S LIED ALONE
SO MANY NIGHTS
WITH SCRIPTURES
IN HER HEAD
PRAYIN' GOOD LORD
JUST BE WITH HIM
I KNOW HIS FAITH
IS TIRED
BUT HE'S AN ANGEL
WITH NO HALO
AND ONE WING IN
THE FIRE
AND I KNOW HE LIVES
A LITTLE LEFT
OF LIVIN' RIGHT
AND HE'S COME CLOSE
TO GOIN' WAY TOO FAR
A FEW TIMES
BUT I'D TRADE
A THOUSAND PRAYERS
IF JUST ONE PRAYER
WOULD COME TRUE
LORD PLEASE BELIEVE
IN HIM
LIKE I BELIEVE IN YOU
DADDY'S ALWAYS BEEN
THERE FOR ME
FROM T-BALL
TO TOUCHDOWNS
FIXED MY CAR
AND FIXED MY HEART
WHEN THEY'VE BEEN
BROKEN DOWN
I KNOW HE CALLS
FOR MORE FORGIVENESS
THAN MOST FOLKS
DO REQUIRE
BUT HE'S AN ANGEL
WITH NO HALO
AND ONE WING IN
THE FIRE
AND I KNOW HE LIVES
A LITTLE LEFT
OF LIVIN' RIGHT
AND HE'S COME CLOSE
TO GOIN' WAY TOO FAR
A FEW TIMES
BUT I'D TRADE
A THOUSAND PRAYERS
IF JUST ONE PRAYER
WOULD COME TRUE
LORD PLEASE BELIEVE
IN HIM
LIKE I BELIEVE IN YOU
WELL I JUST
CAN'T IMAGINE
WHAT HEAVEN
MIGHT BE LIKE
IF ME AND MAMA
MAKE IT
WIITHOUT DADDY
BY OUR SIDE
LORD COULD YOU
PLEASE REMEMBER
WHEN IT'S TIME
TO CALL US HIGHER
THAT HE'S AN ANGEL
WITH NO HALO
AND ONE WING IN
THE FIRE
Mmm Mmm
