Best lyrics ever
One Wing In The Fire by Trent Tomlinson
Daddy's been a back-row Baptist,
With his share of front-row sin.
His Saturday night still on his breathe,
Every Sunday when he'd walk in.
He's never led the Benediction,
He's never sang in the choir.
But he's an angel with no halo,
An' one wing in the fire.
Mamma lives by the Bible,
The Bible lives by the bed.
An' she's lied alone so many nights,
With scriptures in her head.
Prayin': "Good Lord, just be with him,
"I know his Faith is tired,
"But he's an angel with no halo,
"An' one wing in the fire."
"An' I know he lives a little left of livin' right,
"An he's come close to goin' way to far a few times.
"But I'd trade a thousand prayers if just one prayer would come true:
"Lord, please believe in him, like I believe in you."
Daddy's always been there for me,
From T-Ball to touchdowns.
Fixed my car an' fixed my heart,
When they've been broken down.
I know he calls for more forgiveness,
Than most folks do require,
But he's an angel with no halo,
An' one wing in the fire.
An' I know he lives a little left of livin' right,
An he's come close to goin' way to far a few times.
But I'd trade a thousand prayers if just one prayer would come true:
Lord, please believe in him, like I believe in you.
Well, I just can't imagine,
What Heaven might be like.
If me an' Mamma make it,
Wiithout Daddy by our side.
Lord, could you please remember,
When it's time to call us higher:
That he's an angel with no halo,
An' one wing in the fire.
Ooooh.
I love this whole song....makes me laugh and cry....it came out right after Billy died. Can't tell you how many times he sat in church through bloodshot eyes, but he went. I just think he is my angel with no halo and one wing in the fire he was so dang onry! Me and his brother recently bought a bench to put up at his tree and bought an angel and laughed cause his brother said we could break one wing off....

Morrison, why did you delete all your favorite lyrics? Now I don't know whether to tease you about elf suits, tell you about when I was 5 and the men I was watching lay the sidewalk said, "Don't you step in that, kid" in a mean voice so I did or post some lyrics. So I guess I'll do all. Don't know they are the best or my favorite but I was listening to them tonight and they always touch me.
Hello in There by John Prine
Old trees just grow stronger
Old rivers grow wider every day
But old people just grow lonesome
Waiting for someone to say hello in there, hello
So if you're walking down the street sometime
And spot some hollow ancient eyes
Please don't pass them by and stare,
like you didn't care
Say hello in there, hello

In the clearing stands a boxer, and a fighter by his trade
And he carries the reminders of every glove that laid him down or cut him
til he cried out in his anger and his shame
I am leaving, I am leaving, but the fighter still remainswhere does this go?

I am a nerd; anything by Dan Folgelberg. What is it? "I saw her standing in a grocery store it was snowing Christmas Eve I strolled behind her in the frozen foods and touched her on her sleeve" I could type the whole song, I love it that much!
