Torn Between Tequila And The Cross

Her name I’ve long forgotten

But there’s nothing in a name

I’ve known a thousand like her

But they’re all about the same

Ah this wicked road she’d led me down

It got me so damned lost

She left me feeling torn between tequila and the cross

While mama raised the kids

To love the Lord and our good name

She’d hang her head in sorrow

If she’d knew what I’d became

‘Neath the picture of the saviour

Where my broken body’s tossed

In a dingy motel torn between tequila and the cross

Torn between tequila and the cross

I’d never had been found until I’d found that I’d been lost

But by then it was too late to change my own destructive course

Strung out cold and torn between tequila and the cross

Outside a church I’m standing now

I’m shaky as a leaf

As that old familiar hymn comes

Drifting out into the street

And my eyes well up with tears

I see my life and what it cost

On the lonely line that’s torn between tequila and the cross

Ah, torn between tequila and the cross

I’d never had been found until I’d found that I’d been lost

But by then it was too late to change my own destructive course

Strung out cold and torn between tequila and the cross

Strung out cold and torn between tequila and the cross
