[Verse 1]
Boots in the red clay
Blood on my cuff
Mama kept a Bible
Daddy kept a gun
I crossed that river
With a hole in my name
Every good intention
Turned into shame
[Pre-Chorus]
I heard the bells break
Down in the bone
Ain't no clean hands
When the flood comes home
[Chorus]
Wrong side of heaven
Righteous side of hell
Wrong side of heaven
I wear it well
(yeah)
Wrong side of heaven
Righteous side of hell
Hold my blackened halo
Ring my own death knell
[Verse 2]
Night came crawling
Through the cotton rows
I buried my mercy
Where the hard wind blows
Sheriff got his order
Preacher got his line
But the devil in my pocket
Still calls me mine
[Pre-Chorus]
I heard that bell break
Down in the bone
Ain't no clean hands
When the flood comes home
[Chorus]
Wrong side of heaven
Righteous side of hell
Wrong side of heaven
I wear it well
(yeah)
Wrong side of heaven
Righteous side of hell
Hold my blackened halo
Ring my own death knell
[Bridge]
If the floor falls out
Let it take my weight
If the saints won't touch me
I'll meet my fate
(come on)
I got a long black road
And a colder prayer
One foot in the fire
One foot in there
[Final Chorus]
Wrong side of heaven
Righteous side of hell
Wrong side of heaven
I wear it well
(yeah)
Wrong side of heaven
Righteous side of hell
Hold my blackened halo
Ring my own death knell
