歌詞

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 tatoo 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
