CROOKED HALO

Intro I got a crooked halo Hanging over me Bent from all the places A better man won't be

Verse 1 I pulled a stranger from a wreck once Then robbed a rich man blind Held my brother through his worst night Left another man behind I gave my word and broke it Broke my hand defending yours I've prayed inside a church house Then settled things outdoors

Chorus Crooked halo Still hanging somehow A little gold, a little rust A little heaven burned out Crooked halo Don't fit straight anymore But if they judge me by the good I've done I might still make the door

Verse 2 I loved one woman faithfully Just never loved her well I knew exactly where she'd hurt And knew exactly what to tell I've fed men who were hungry Turned cold men from my fire Truth is, every decent thing Still carries some old wire Am I righteous? No. Am I damned? Who knows? Then quit keeping score. Crooked halo Let it hang where it falls I ain't asking heaven To forget it all Crooked halo Bent but holding on If saints are made from perfect men Then I was born wrong
