"Feather In Her Halo" lyrics

I swear she has wings
Tucked underneath her long white satin dress
Wrapped around her body, Good God Almighty
Got the sinner scared half to death
A little piece of heaven
Floating around in a pair of high heels
Lord, gimme a chance, we can shake hands
Make ourselves a deal

I wanna be
More than a one-night-stand
Nothin' less than the rest of her life, man
You've got my word
I'll go to church
And walk the straight and narrow road
I'll read the Book
I'll watch my mouth
Lay all my bad habits I picked up down
Lord have mercy on my lonely soul
I wanna be more than a feather in her halo

"Love me and leave me"
Kinda woman is all I ever wanted before
Never thought twice 'bout what happens behind
Them don't-tell motel doors
She can be the river
That baptized me from a troubled past
And turn this leaf I've been livin' under over
Get the Devil the hell off my back

I wanna be
More than a one-night-stand
Nothin' less than the rest of her life, man
You've got my word
I'll go to church
And walk the straight and narrow road
I'll read the Book
And I'll watch my mouth
Lay all my bad habits I picked up down
Lord have mercy on my lonely soul
I wanna wanna be more
Than just a feather in her halo

It ain't like me
To hit my knees and pray
Lord, what do ya say?

I wanna be
More than a one-night-stand
Nothin' less than the rest of her life, man
You've got my word
I'll go to church
And walk the straight and narrow road
I'll read the Book
I'll watch my mouth
Lay all my bad habits I picked up down
Lord have mercy on my lonely soul
I wanna be more
Than just a feather in her halo
Feather in her halo
