Barbed Wire Halo cover art

Тексты

[Verse 1]
I was raised on red dirt
Sunday choir
Friday sins
Daddy’s Bible on the dashboard
Mama’s flask in the glove in
Said “girl
You’re some kind of trouble”
With that steel in your stare
Lipstick like a loaded barrel
Boots kicked up on every chair

[Chorus]
I got a barbed wire halo
And a heart like a smoking gun
Pray in the pew
Then I burn down the bar
All in the same damn sun
Angel in a rhinestone halo
Devil in a worn-out jean
I’m a backroad storm in a leather halo
Tearing through your quiet dreams (oh yeah)

[Verse 2]
I still hum them old hymns
While I tear up these new scars
Trade my horses for these horses
Underneath this blacked-out car
Thank the Lord for every heartbreak
Every scar on these hands
‘Cause they sharpened up my mercy
And they toughened up my stand

[Chorus]
I got a barbed wire halo
And a heart like a smoking gun
Pray in the pew
Then I burn down the bar
All in the same damn sun
Angel in a rhinestone halo
Devil in a worn-out jean
I’m a backroad storm in a leather halo
Tearing through your quiet dreams (hey!)

[Bridge]
So if you see me on that stage tonight
Flashing grin
Eyes shut tight
Know I’m singing for the saints and strays
All the sinners trying to find their way
Come bleed your secrets in the dark
I’ll stitch ‘em to my tired heart
We’ll scream ‘til all the shame lets go
Under this barbed wire halo

[Chorus]
I got a barbed wire halo
And a heart like a smoking gun
Pray in the pew
Then I burn down the bar
All in the same damn sun
Angel in a rhinestone halo
Devil in a worn-out jean
I’m a backroad storm in a leather halo
Ripping through your quiet dreams
