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
