| Daddy's been a back-row Baptist with his | share of front-row sin |
| D | A | A7 | |
| Those | Saturday nights still on his breath every | Sunday when he'd walk | in |
| D | D/F# | G | |
| He's never | led the benediction, he's never sang | in the | choir |
| D | G | A | D | G | D | G | |
| But he's an | angel with no | halo and | one wing in the | fire |
| D | G | |
| Mama lives by the bible, the | bible lives by the bed |
| D | A | A7 | |
| She's | lied alone so many nights with | scriptures in her | head |
| D | D/F# | G | |
| Prayin' | Good Lord just be with him, I know his | faith is | tired |
| D | G | A | D | D7 | |
| But he's an | angel with no | halo and | one wing in the | fire |
| CHORUS: |
| G | A | Bm | |
| And I | know he lives a | little left of | livin' right |
| G | A | D | |
| And | he's come close to | goin' way too | far a few times |
| Bm | A | G | D/F# | |
| But I'd | trade a thousand | prayers if just one | prayer would come | true |
| Em | D/F# | G | A | D | G | |
| Lord | please be | lieve i | n him like I | believe in | You |
| D | G | |
| Daddy's always been there for me, from | tee-ball to touchdowns |
| D | A | A7 | |
| Fixed my car and fixed my heart when | they've been broken | down |
| D | D/F# | G | |
| I know he | calls for more foregiveness than most folks | do r | equire |
| D | G | A | D | D7 | |
| But he's an | angel with no | halo and | one wing in the | fire |
| CHORUS |
| D | G | |
| Well | I just can't imagine what | Heaven might be like |
| D | A | A7 | |
| If | me and Mama make it without | Daddy by our | side |
| D | D/F# | G | |
| Lord | could you please remember when it's time to | call us | higher |
| D | G | A | |
| That he's an | angel with no | halo and | one wing in the fire |
