[Verse]
Dust on my boots, sins on my tongue,
Whiskey river drownin’ the songs I sung.
Hollow heart echoes in a churchbell ring,
Chasin’ shadows of the man I’ve been.
Preacher man’s eyes burnin’ through my chest,
Crossroads callin’, but I failed the test.
[Prechorus]
Cigarette smoke twistin’ prayers in the dark,
Sweet sinner’s soul got a devil’s spark.
[Chorus]
Oh, sweet sinner, breakin’ every vow,
Run from heaven, but you can’t hide now.
Oh, sweet sinner, what’s your alibi?
Heavy hands, but the Lord’s still nigh.
[Verse 2]
Steel strings hum like a rattlesnake hiss,
Every step closer feels closer to the abyss.
Moonlight bleeds through the cracks in the pine,
Haunted by ghosts I thought weren’t mine.
Hymns on the wind, sharp as a blade,
Echoes of the promises I betrayed.
[Prechorus]
Hollow eyes in the rearview stare,
Sweet sinner’s heart still beggin’ a prayer.
[Chorus]
Oh, sweet sinner, breakin’ every vow,
Run from heaven, but you can’t hide now.
Oh, sweet sinner, what’s your alibi?
Heavy hands, but the Lord’s still nigh.
