Angels In a Bar

Nick Haynes

Compositor: Dan Hutson / Justin Whisnant / Nick Haynes / Paul Sanders

I was raised in church on Sunday morning
And even Wednesday nights
And just like ole Hank sang it
We all saw the light
He fought a lot of demons
And I've had my share too
On and off the straight and narrow
Just trying to find the truth
But I found faith and hope in 100 proof

'Cause I met Billy Graham's on barstools
And I found snakes on front row pews
Whiskey drinking preachers on a Friday night
From holy rollin' heathens
To back sliding believers
Only the good Lord knows what's in your heart

'Cause I've met devils in a church
And I found angels in a bar
Between Happy hour hallelujah's
And stained glass neon signs
To honky tonk hymns on the jukebox
That save me every time
You got your ways to worship and I got mine

'Cause I met Billy Graham's on barstools
And I found snakes on front row pews
Whiskey drinking preachers on a Friday night
From holy rollin' heathens
To back sliding believers
Only the good Lord knows what's in your heart

'Cause I've met devils in a church
And I found angels in a bar
We've all been winners
And we've all been losers
Saturday night saints
To Sunday morning sinners

And I've met Billy Graham's on barstools
And I found snakes on front row pews
Whiskey drinking preachers on a Friday night
From holy rollin' heathens
To back sliding believers
Only the good Lord knows what's in your heart
I said only Jesus knows what's in your heart
'Cause I've met devils in a church
And I found angels in a bar
