One Wing In The Fire

[D]Daddy's been a back-row Baptist with his [G]share of front-row sin
Those [D]Saturday nights still on his breath every [A]Sunday when he'd walk [A7]in
He's never [D]led the benediction, he's never sang [D/F#]in the [G]choir
But he's an [D]angel with no [G]halo and [A]one wing in the [D]fire   [G]       [D]           [G]

[D]Mama lives by the bible, the [G]bible lives by the bed
She's [D]lied alone so many nights with [A]scriptures in her [A7]head
Prayin' [D]Good Lord just be with him, I know his [D/F#]faith is [G]tired
But he's an [D]angel with no [G]halo and [A]one wing in the [D]fire [D7]

And I [G]know he lives a [A]little left of [Bm]livin' right
And [G]he's come close to [A]goin' way too [D]far a few times
But I'd [Bm]trade a thousand [A]prayers if just one [G]prayer would come [D/F#]true
Lord [Em]please be[D/F#]lieve i[G]n him like I [A]believe in [D]You  [G]

[D]Daddy's always been there for me, from [G]tee-ball to touchdowns
[D]Fixed my car and fixed my heart when [A]they've been broken [A7]down
I know he [D]calls for more foregiveness than most folks [D/F#]do  r[G]equire
But he's an [D]angel with no [G]halo and [A]one wing in the [D]fire  [D7]

Well [D]I just can't imagine what [G]Heaven might be like
If [D]me and Mama make it without [A]Daddy by our [A7]side
Lord [D]could you please remember when it's time to [D/F#]call us [G]higher
That he's an [D]angel with no [G]halo and [A]one wing in the fire
