Lyrics by Max Weaver

When did you grow those wings on your shoulders?
Where did you get that halo on your head?
When did you start singin' with the angels?
Deliver me Lord from evil today.

She's takin' my moonshine away,
Takin' my moonshine away,
She's takin' my moonshine away today,
and Jesus is the man I blame.

I don't think it seems very kind
talkin' bout your new man right to my face.
There's a fine line between love and obsession.
When did you cross it my heavenly dear?

Darlin' when I see you down on your knees
beggin' and pleadin' with him.
There's a tear in your eye.
I don't think he treats you right.

Well the father, son, and holy ghost
couldn't treat you half as good as I can.
If you'd just give me back the bottle
I swear I wont sip it before mass.
