my ol' man was a contradiction[00:00:13]
a real hard man to figure[00:00:16]
he'd read the king james bible[00:00:18]
while sippin' on corn liquor[00:00:21]
he'd get drunk, and he'd get to preachin'[00:00:24]
right out on the porch[00:00:27]
alternatin' between cussin' and a prayin'[00:00:29]
spittin' and a praisin' the lord[00:00:32]
no doubt about it[00:00:36]
he was a man of both extremes[00:00:37]
he had his share of demons[00:00:40]
but on jesus he would lean[00:00:43]
he'd say, "fly high like the angels[00:00:48]
run wild like the devil[00:00:54]
we're all tryin' to find the middle[00:00:59]
between saint and sinner, wrong and right[00:01:04]
sunday morning and saturday night."[00:01:08]
well, i have sung "amazing grace," hymnal in my hand[00:01:16]
played "stairway to heaven" in a three piece pick up band[00:01:22]
i know the straight and narrow is the path that i should take[00:01:27]
but out here in the fast lane, you tend to get a little sideways[00:01:33]
i still hear him preachin'[00:01:39]
slurrin' his words a bit[00:01:41]
sayin' the thing about temptation[00:01:44]
is it's so hard to resist[00:01:47]
he'd say, "fly high like the angels[00:01:52]
run wild like the devil[00:01:58]
we're all tryin' to find the middle[00:02:03]
between saint and sinner, wrong and right[00:02:08]
sunday morning and saturday night."[00:02:12]
back then i didn't realize[00:02:25]
the wisdom in the sermon[00:02:28]
it took a while to understand[00:02:31]
the lesson i'm still learnin'[00:02:34]
he'd say, "fly high like the angels[00:02:39]
run wild like the devil[00:02:45]
we're all tryin' to find the middle[00:02:50]
between saint and sinner, wrong and right[00:02:55]
sunday morning and saturday night."[00:02:59]
saint and sinner, wrong and right[00:03:02]
sunday morning and saturday night[00:03:04]
he said, "fly high like the angels."[00:03:17]
