[00:01.13]Barbed Wire Halo
[00:10.70]Well God bless Texas
[00:12.20]
[00:13.40]And Deakon Shackleford
[00:15.59]
[00:16.34]He read the bible seven times
[00:18.58]
[00:19.45]And he believed every word
[00:21.39]
[00:22.39]That ol' beat up leather book had been through it all
[00:27.79]
[00:28.54]He sat on the back pew so he could chew him a chaw
[00:34.65]Singing
[00:34.96]"Amazing Grace
[00:36.34]
[00:37.27]How sweet the sound"
[00:40.83]
[00:41.70]That saved a wrech like me
[00:45.32]
[00:47.63]He carried candy for the kids in his Sunday dress coat
[00:53.43]
[00:54.00]He'd take me fishin' after church
[00:56.56]
[00:57.24]And taught me things I needed to know
[01:00.08]No, Deakon didn't have a family
[01:02.76]
[01:03.64]Lord knows he wished he did
[01:06.57]He told the whole congregation that I was his grandkid
[01:11.68]
[01:12.56]And today he joined up with Jesus
[01:15.43]
[01:16.18]Wearing shiny pearl snaps
[01:18.42]
[01:19.17]We sang a few gospel hymns
[01:21.48]
[01:22.04]And then the soldier played taps
[01:24.69]
[01:25.26]I bet he's walkin' with Pete down the street paved with gold
[01:31.09]
[01:31.78]Showin' off his brand spanking new wings
[01:35.83]
[01:37.02]And his barbed wire halo
[01:38.77]
[01:39.51]He married sweet Emma Grace before the war was through
[01:50.43]
[01:51.12]She held his right arm next to his anchor tatoo
[01:55.80]
[01:56.74]He was on a ship off at sea when she died in child birth
[02:02.73]
[02:03.85]He lost his whole world from the far side of the earth
[02:09.09]
[02:10.28]He lost the will to love
[02:12.62]
[02:13.37]He lost the will to live
[02:15.55]
[02:16.42]Until he met a man who taught him to forgive
[02:21.29]
[02:22.04]Yeah life took him to hell and back
[02:25.54]To hell and back a time or two
[02:28.03]
[02:28.59]But in the end he beat the devil until he was black and blue
[02:34.10]
[02:34.60]Singing
[02:35.54]"I once was lost
[02:37.03]But now I'm found
[02:39.03]
[02:41.22]Was blind
[02:42.44]
[02:43.57]But now I see"
[02:45.32]
[02:47.38]And today he joined up with Jesus
[02:50.25]
[02:50.94]Wearing shiny pearl snaps
[02:53.87]We sang a few gospel hymns
[02:56.19]
[02:57.00]And then the soldier played taps
[02:59.37]
[03:00.06]I bet he's walkin' with Pete down the street paved with gold
[03:05.81]
[03:06.48]Showin' off his brand spanking new wings
[03:10.42]
[03:11.54]And his barbed wire halo
[03:13.29]
[03:15.97]Before he went he made me promise him that I wouldn't cry
[03:21.77]
[03:22.52]And though I told him that I wouldn't I couldn't help but lie
[03:27.58]
[03:29.32]Cause today he joined up with Jesus
[03:33.13]Wearing shiny pearl snaps
[03:34.27]
[03:34.96]We sang a few gospel hymns
[03:37.22]
[03:37.78]And then the soldier played taps
[03:40.15]
[03:41.21]I bet he's walking with Pete down the street paved with gold
[03:46.64]
[03:48.07]As sure as the old church bell still rings
[03:51.69]
[03:53.90]He always said he had country in his soul
[03:57.64]
[04:00.32]He's showing off his brand spanking new wings
[04:04.06]
[04:05.19]And his barbed wire halo
[04:07.00]
[04:07.56]Sweet chariots coming forth to carry me home
[04:18.73]
[04:21.14]
