[00:14.99]Well God bless Texas
[00:17.78]And Deacon Shackleford
[00:20.96]He read the bible seven times
[00:24.34]And he believed every word
[00:27.73]That ol' beat up leather book had been through it all
[00:34.54]He sat on the back pew so he could chew him a chaw
[00:41.41]Singin'
[00:42.53]Amazing grace
[00:45.49]How sweet the sound
[00:48.62]That saved a wretch like me
[00:55.51]He carried candy for the kids in his Sunday dress coat
[01:02.06]He'd take me fishing after church
[01:05.49]And taught me things I needed to know
[01:08.67]No Deacon didn't have a family
[01:12.25]Lord knows he wished he did
[01:15.33]He told the whole congregation that I was his grandkid
[01:21.84]And today he joined up with Jesus
[01:25.62]Wearin' shiny pearl snaps
[01:28.45]We sang a few gospel hymns
[01:31.92]And then the soldier played Taps
[01:34.95]I bet he's walkin' with Pete down the street paved with gold
[01:41.27]Showin' off his brand spankin' new wings
[01:46.81]And his barbed wire halo
[01:55.06]He married sweet Emma Grace before the war was through
[02:01.30]She held his right arm next to his anchor tattoo
[02:07.61]He was on a ship off at sea
[02:10.97]When she died in child birth
[02:14.56]He lost his whole world from the far side of the Earth
[02:21.62]He lost the will to love
[02:24.62]He lost the will to live
[02:27.94]Until he met a man who taught him to forgive
[02:33.65]Yeah life took him to hell and back
[02:37.17]To hell and back a time or two
[02:40.39]But in the end he beat the devil until he was black and blue
[02:46.50]Singin'
[02:47.11]I once was lost
[02:50.48]But now I'm found
[02:53.41]Was blind
[02:55.04]But now I see
[02:59.56]And today he joined up with Jesus
[03:03.13]Wearin' shiny pearl snaps
[03:06.16]We sang a few gospel hymns
[03:09.47]And then the soldier played Taps
[03:12.45]I bet he's walkin' with Pete down the street paved with gold
[03:18.95]Showin' off his brand spankin' new wings
[03:23.79]And his barbed wire halo
[03:37.78]Before he went
[03:39.74]He made me promise him that I wouldn't cry
[03:44.50]And though I told him that I wouldn't
[03:48.22]You know I couldn't help but lie
[03:50.75]'Cause today he joined up with Jesus
[03:54.31]Wearin' shiny pearl snaps
[03:57.34]We sang a few gospel hymns
[04:00.22]And then the soldier played Taps
[04:03.40]I bet he's walking with Pete down the street paved with gold
[04:10.00]As sure as the old church bell still rings
[04:16.69]He always said he had country in his soul
[04:22.96]He's showin' off his brand spankin' new wings
[04:27.81]And his barbed wire halo
[04:32.36]Sweet chariots comin' forth to carry me home
[04:41.79]Swing low sweet chariots comin' forth to carry me home
