I see the world through a sinner's black eye
I'm bruised, but still fighting, 'cause love never dies
A wholly unloveable scoundrel am I
And you'd love to hate me, but
I hate to see you try
This little light of yours broke this big heart of mine
I heal it with whiskey a day at a time
Jesus fights dirty, and he has to be right
But he kidnapped my baby
So I guess I saw the light
When I stopped believing, did the world still turn?
Did lovers still love? And did fire still burn?
I can't fault you believing what I once thought was true
But my world's been colder, since Jesus ran off with you
They told me that love wouldn't leave me alone
I took it to heart, but now they're all gone
Don't trust the fools who would teach you to fear
Baby, you were born fearless. You're nothing like them
Your heart beats my blood, my dear
Are your prayers being answered?
Have your wishes come true?
Do you think of him the way that I think of you?
There'll be hell to pay if he makes you feel like I do
But I'm still your shoulder, if you ever need me
And as we grow older, in your reflection, see me
My world has been colder since Jesus ran off with you
