[Verse 1]
I ain't ever worn a halo
Don't suppose I ever will
As far as savin' me goes
It's a battle up a hill
[Pre-Chorus]
But I keep climbin'
Tryin', fightin'
[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
[Pre-Chorus]
And they say that that's okay
But I keep prayin' for the day
[Chorus]
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 givin' me the gospel and not the third degree
I just want it to read
Like Bible verses and not the Bible vеrsus me
[Verse 3]
I woke up in last night's clothes
And it's whisky on my lips
If God's lookin' down, I know
Hе's really lookin' down on this
[Pre-Chorus]
But I have faith that I can change
I keep prayin' for the day
[Chorus]
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 givin' me the gospel and not the third degree
I just want it to read
Like Bible verses and not the Bible versus me
[Bridge]
I'm just tryin' to give myself a little grace
'Til those words and me get on the same page
[Chorus]
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 givin' me the gospel and not the third degree
I just want it to read
Like Bible verses and not the Bible versus me
