Aaron Watson - Barbed Wire Halo Lyrics

Align:    
  • Well God bless Texas
  • And Deakon Shackleford
  • He read the bible seven times
  • And he believed every word
  • That ol' beat up leather book had been through it all
  • He sat on the back pew so he could chew him a chaw
  • Singin'
  • "Amazing Grace
  • How sweet the sound"
  • That saved a wrech like me
  • He carried candy for the kids in his Sunday dress coat
  • He'd take me fishin' after church
  • And taught me things I needed to know
  • No, Deakon didn't have a family
  • Lord knows he wished he did
  • He told the whole congregation that I was his grandkid
  • Chorus:
  • And today he joined up with Jesus
  • Wearing shiny pearl snaps
  • We sang a few gospel hymns
  • And then the soldier played taps
  • I bet he's walkin' with Pete down the street paved with gold
  • Showin' off his brand spanking new wings
  • And his barbed wire halo
  • He married sweet Emma Grace before the war was through
  • She held his right arm next to his anchor tattoo
  • He was on a ship off at sea when she died in child birth
  • He lost his whole world from the far side of the earth
  • He lost the will to love
  • He lost the will to live
  • Until he met a man who taught him to forgive
  • Yeah life took him to hell and back
  • To hell and back a time or two
  • But in the end he beat the devil until he was black and blue
  • Singin'
  • "I once was lost
  • But now I'm found
  • Was blind
  • But now I see"
  • (Chorus)
  • Before he went he made me promise him that I wouldn't cry
  • And though I told him that I wouldn't I couldn't help but lie
  • Cause today he joined up with Jesus
  • Wearing shiny pearl snaps
  • We sang a few gospel hymns
  • And then the soldier played taps
  • I bet he's walking with Pete down the street paved with gold
  • As sure as the old church bell still rings
  • He always said he had country in his soul
  • He's showing off his brand spanking new wings
  • And his barbed wire halo
  • Sweet chariots coming forth to carry me home
  • Swing low sweet chariots coming forth to carry me home
