Halos and Horns

(Dolly Parton)



Halos and horns, sinners and saints

Hearts that are torn between what's wrong and ain't

Just because it feels right does not make it so

So we struggle through life in horns and halos.



Tempted and tried with each step we take

We stumble and slide and make our mistakes

Ask God to forgive us for all of our sins

Then we take off our horns and wear halos again.



Halos and horns, sinners and saints

Hearts that are torn between what's wrong and ain't

Just because it feels right does not make it so

So we struggle through life in horns and halos.



Halos and horns, sinners and saints

We're praised or we're scorned, we either run or we faint

Oh, but life is a challenge from the day that we're born

Just tryin' to balance halos and horns

It's heaven or hell, halos or horns.



Halos and horns, sinners and saints

Hearts that are torn between what's wrong and ain't

But just because it feels right; well, that don't make it so

So we struggle through life in horns or halos

It's either horns or halos...
