One Wing in the Fire by Trent Tomlinson Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
Mama lives by the Bible, the Bible lives by the bed
And she's lied alone so many nights with scriptures in her head
Praying, 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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
Daddy's always been there for me from T-Ball to touchdowns
Fixed my car an' 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
[Chorus]
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
[Outro]
Well, I just can't imagine what Heaven might be like
If me and Mama make it without 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
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
[Verse 2]
Mama lives by the Bible, the Bible lives by the bed
And she's lied alone so many nights with scriptures in her head
Praying, 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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
Daddy's always been there for me from T-Ball to touchdowns
Fixed my car an' 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
[Chorus]
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
[Outro]
Well, I just can't imagine what Heaven might be like
If me and Mama make it without 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
