Living like a black angel

Verse 1: I was born with a cigarette halo, And a six-string made of sin, Mama prayed for my salvation, But I never let Jesus in. The devil just grinned in the mirror, Said, “Son, you were made to roam,” Now I’m halfway to heaven, And a long way from home. Chorus: I’m livin’ like a black angel, Feathers soaked in smoke and pain, Half outlaw, half salvation, Runnin’ wild in the whiskey rain. You can judge me or you can join me, Either way, I won’t change — ’Cause I’m livin’ like a black angel, In a world that don’t know my name. Verse 2: Got a Bible in the glovebox, And a pistol by my side, Singin’ hymns to the highway, While my demons hitch a ride. Every barroom feels like Sunday, Every sinner feels like kin, I ain’t scared of dyin’, Hell, I’ve already been. Chorus: I’m livin’ like a black angel, Feathers soaked in smoke and pain, Half outlaw, half salvation, Runnin’ wild in the whiskey rain. You can judge me or you can join me, Either way, I won’t change — ’Cause I’m livin’ like a black angel, In a world that don’t know my name. Bridge: Got scars like scripture, Tattoos that bleed, Ain’t lookin’ for redemption, Just a place to be free. Final Chorus: Yeah, I’m livin’ like a black angel, With the devil ridin’ shotgun near, Singin’ truth through busted speakers, Ain’t nothin’ holy here. You can pray for my salvation, But I’m fine with my flame — ’Cause I’m livin’ like a black angel, And I’ll never be tamed.
