Born and raised in Oklamhoma
Young man moved to Tennessee
He started running with the devil

To find a new found love for their lost cause
Lord knows she loved him
Despite all his flaws
And he loved her 
'Cause she made him want to be a better man

Lord knows, it wasn't, a cold day in hell
Like everybody, thought it would be
It was actually a beautiful July mornin'
When he and that preacher man
Came walking up out of that creek

God bless angels and pray outlaws
To find a new found love for their lost cause
Lord knows she loved him
Despite all his flaws
And he loved her 
'Cause she made him want to be a better man

And he loved her 
'Cause she made him want to be a better man
And he was...
