V1.I was born beside the Erie in the summertime,And lived inside the rust buckle 'till the age of nine.I broke the rules of the preacher and his blessed little wife.I turned the left side of truth into the center of life,I pulled the grey and the gold out of the black and the white.I've got a heart that's full of equal parts of fear and faith, and they say... Unless God appears first, I will die that way.CHORUS.I sing sad songs.I get high some. I got nothin' to prove,Baby winnin' or lose I'm the same... and I sayUnless God appears first, I will die this way.V2.I remember kissin' Julie on a Friday nightI told her she was the one and then she let me inside.SongtexteI stole the trust of a woman who was only ever kind.I called her after a year, in a moment of needShe didn't mention that night or ask no penance of me.I was convicted and forgiven in an instant on that day.And I say, unless God appears first, I got debts to pay.CHORUS.I sing sad songs.I get high some. I got nothin' to prove,Baby winnin' or lose I'm the same... and I sayUnless God appears first, I will die this way.BRIDGE:And if heaven comes, or I hear it callingFrom the mansions behind pearly gates...I'll go at night, or on horses of fireThrough whirlwind and wire With a grin on my face.Unless God appears first, I will fly away.
