I never 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 climbin´, tryin´, fightin´

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, "But that´s okay"
But I keep praying for the day

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 wanted to read
Like Bible verses
And not the Bible versus me

I woke up in last night´s clothes

And it´s whisky 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

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 wanted to read
Like Bible verses
And not the Bible versus me

I´m just tryin´ to give myself a little grace
´Til those words and me get on the same page

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 wanted to read
Like Bible verses
And not the Bible versus me
