One Angel (feat. Dolly Parton)

The dominos kept falling in slow motion Every doctor's call and diagnostic test I drove that hundred miles just to see you The whole while cussing God and the devil in one breath You knew I'd had my fill of the Bible But you made it clear you loved me anyway You never let on you were scared of dying But you'd reach out for my hand And I'd listen while you pray So here's three fingers of tequila, One finger for the cancer One finger for the poison they sent pouring through your veins One finger for the preacher Cause I don't believe the Jesus that you love so much Would put you through such pain But I do believe one angel knows my name When you have up on the chemo and went home We wrote about the horses, kids, and cows And you said you'd send me seedlings you were starting And you thanked me for the way I still made you laugh out loud So here's three fingers of tequila, One finger for the cancer One finger for the poison they sent pouring through your veins One finger for the preacher Cause I don't believe the Jesus that you love so much Would put you through such pain But I do believe one angel knows my name Now there's a roany grazing peaceful where you're layin' And a horse-tail woven in between your hands And I'm pulling on your boots to 'em riding like I promised you I'd do Every time I got a chance. So here's three fingers of tequila, One finger for the cancer One finger for the poison they sent pouring through your veins One finger for the preacher Cause I don't believe the Jesus that you love so much Would put you through such pain But I do believe one angel knows my name
