Baptized In Well Spirits Songtext
My daddy kept his hope in a reservoir
Whiskey distilled in a mason jar
Taught me everything I know about breaking hearts
How getting back up is the hardest part
My mama had faith and wore it well
It didn't fit me when I was raising hell
And around sixteen I finally figured out
There was one way to be free
I could follow my heart to heaven, the wayward down to hell
Whiskey distilled in a mason jar
Taught me everything I know about breaking hearts
How getting back up is the hardest part
My mama had faith and wore it well
It didn't fit me when I was raising hell
And around sixteen I finally figured out
There was one way to be free
I could follow my heart to heaven, the wayward down to hell
Or tuck my way into some middle ground
Between my whiskey jar and the heart of God, there's a simple understanding
I'll be drinking when I'm happy and praying when I'm sad
Baptized in well spirits
Then Friday night on The Johnny Cash Show
We were bathing in the light of the TV glow
He sang, "Walk the line," and he sang it slow
Like he knew what was on my mind
Then Sunday morning, the preacher said
"Go on and listen to the words in red"
But I heard Jesus turned the water into wine
I could follow my heart to heaven, the wayward down to hell
Or tuck my way into some middle ground
Between my whiskey jar and the heart of God, there's a simple understanding
I'll be drinking when I'm happy and praying when I'm sad
Baptized in well spirits
I found the road that split towards good or evil And knew I’d have to carve another way
I could follow my heart to heaven, the wayward down to hell
Or tuck my way into some middle ground
Between my whiskey jar and the heart of God, there's a simple understanding
I'll be drinking when I'm happy and praying when I'm sad
Baptized in well spirits
Between my whiskey jar and the heart of God, there's a simple understanding
I'll be drinking when I'm happy and praying when I'm sad
Baptized in well spirits
Then Friday night on The Johnny Cash Show
We were bathing in the light of the TV glow
He sang, "Walk the line," and he sang it slow
Like he knew what was on my mind
Then Sunday morning, the preacher said
"Go on and listen to the words in red"
But I heard Jesus turned the water into wine
I could follow my heart to heaven, the wayward down to hell
Or tuck my way into some middle ground
Between my whiskey jar and the heart of God, there's a simple understanding
I'll be drinking when I'm happy and praying when I'm sad
Baptized in well spirits
I found the road that split towards good or evil And knew I’d have to carve another way
I could follow my heart to heaven, the wayward down to hell
Or tuck my way into some middle ground
Between my whiskey jar and the heart of God, there's a simple understanding
I'll be drinking when I'm happy and praying when I'm sad
Baptized in well spirits
