Bill Mallonee - If I Should Fall From Grace With God lyrics

I've been sober for nearly forty winks Beating those odds ain't one of my strengths When your faith's a beat dog howling chained in some front yard If I should fall from grace with God Sonnets of love and Gethsemane carved deep beneath my skin Hometown gatekeepers didn't like it much so I never did get in Somewhere between strawberry fields my backyard full of stars If I should fall from grace with God Now I have stood in large places but mostly they've been small I've ventured into spaces where I shouldn't have been at all Remove your shoes figuratively this is holy ground we're on if I should fall from grace with God Well faith has its thorns 'cause faith she is a rose You can still smell the scent if you lean in real close Make them pry it from your hand after you're dead and gone If I should fall from grace with God Judas was the traitor Peter the cowardly man Which one I most resemble the thirty pieces the silver in my hand My eyes were always set on high the heart so deeply flawed If I should fall from grace with God
