Verse:
G                         Em
I remember daddy held the bible like a gun
C                                              D
Back when I was a Pentecostal gospel preachers son
      G                          Em
And I still can see the fire and brimstone in his eyes
           C                                            D
When he'd preach to people in a tent repent before you die
Em                              C                   D
Me I'd sneak out back with some saint-less southern girl
Em                           C            D
And there I'd teach her the ways of this world


Chorus:
        G                       D
Well I guess I was way too wild to be the child of a preacher man
Em                           C          D
One foot on a solid rock and one on the sinking sand
G                          D
Just like the prodigal son I guess I got way too lost
Em                              C     D
Living somewhere in between the devil and the cross


Repeat Intro


Verse2:
I was daddy's worst nightmare by the time I turned 18
Baptized in a whiskey river on the streets of New Orleans
Where demons drugs and rock and roll they seemed to clog my mind
And women were a weakness for weeks at a time
I learned the hard way what you reap is what you sew
So in silent desperation one night I headed home


Repeat Chorus


Repeat Intro Once


Bridge:
C                                    G
Daddy did more than talk the talk he walked the walk in life
    D                           Em               G
He loved me and forgave me when I came home that night
            C                          G
He said son don't ever be ashamed for God forgives the lost
D
We all live somewhere in between the devil and the cross



Repeat Chorus
