The ashes from the bible hit the ground And just because those words did burn Doesn’t mean that they weren’t found It smells like choir songs sung in the rain It’s those old familiar hauntings That keep you running for all your days She asked that God Fearing Boy that night Will you run with me If I decide to leave Before tomorrow’s light He responded with a smile to hide his fear This place is all I’ve ever known So tomorrow I’ll keep here He put his fear before his love She lost her faith in God above And Saint Peter would condemn him Saint Peter would condemn him For the God Fearing Boy he was The ashes still remained mixed in the dirt The preacher found a means to hide The ways in which he’d hurt He knew his boy would leave him And as he passed him by the well He said I don’t hate you son but I’ll wish you straight to Hell His journey started there and ended by that bridge Under fireworks He held onto her Saying please Lord please do forgive Me for my father he was sick If what he thought was true He’s damn near better off without me And so much better off with you He put his love before his fear He held her tight she shed a tear And Saint Peter wouldn’t touch him No Saint Peter wouldn’t touch him There’s not a man more honest or sincere So he never looked back And she never looked back God has a way of taking more Than what we ever have for slack
