Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Boots by the back door

Mud on my Sunday jeans

Mama’s old Bible

Stuck on the in-between

I’ve been cussin’ at the ceiling

Prayin’ through my teeth

Banjo on my shoulder

Devil underneath

[Chorus]

I got rust on the halo

Blood on my hands

Singin’ “help me Jesus” in a broke-down band

Steel in my backbone

Dirt on my name

I’m caught in the crossfire of glory and shame

(Rust on the halo, can you hear my song?)

(Rust on the halo, but I’m holdin’ on)

[Verse 2]

Bottle in the glove box

Hymn in the radio hum

Torn-up knuckles

From the wrong I’ve done

I drag this chain like a guitar strap

Till it carves my skin

But when that choir hits the chorus

I believe again

[Chorus]

I got rust on the halo

Blood on my hands

Singin’ “help me Jesus” in a broke-down band

Steel in my backbone

Dirt on my name

I’m caught in the crossfire of glory and shame

(Rust on the halo, can you sing along?)

(Rust on the halo, but I’m holdin’ on)
