my ol' man was a contradiction
a real hard man to figure
he'd read the king james bible
while sippin' on corn liquor
he'd get drunk
and he'd get to preachin'
right out on the porch
alternatin' between cussin' and a prayin'
spittin' and a praisin' the lord
no doubt about it
he was a man of both extremes
he had his share of demons
but on jesus he would lean
he'd say
fly high like the angels
