Part-Time Atheist

Verse 1
I believe in luck and bad decisions
Coffee strong and weak convictions
Sunday mornings smell like sin
Saturday nights I check back in
I cuss at God when rent’s past due
Then whisper prayers when I’m black-and-blue
I don’t know truth, I just know pain
And I hedge my bets in the fast lane
Pre-Chorus
I ain’t holy, I ain’t lost
Just keeping score of what things cost
Chorus
I’m a part-time atheist, part-time saint
Pray for mercy, then tempt fate
Got a halo bent and a crooked wing
Trying to outrun everything
I ain’t rich, I ain’t immune
A thousand bucks completely human
I fall, I rise, I love, I ain’t
Part-time atheist, part-time saint
Verse 2
I tip my hat to the man upstairs
But I don’t like crowds and folding chairs
I believe in scars and alibis
Second chances and first goodbyes
I’ve sworn off sin at least a dozen times
Till midnight shows up with better lines
I don’t need heaven paved in gold
Just a clean shirt and a story told
Pre-Chorus
I ain’t saved, I ain’t condemned
Just doing what I can again
Chorus
I’m a part-time atheist, part-time saint
Pray for mercy, then tempt fate
Got a halo bent and a crooked wing
Trying to outrun everything
I ain’t rich, I ain’t immune
A thousand bucks completely human
I fall, I rise, I love, I ain’t
Part-time atheist, part-time saint
Bridge
If God’s keeping books, I’m overdue
But He knows I’m trying — hell, He’s human too
I don’t walk water, I barely stand
Just doing the best I can, man
Last Chorus / Outro
Yeah I’m a part-time atheist, part-time saint
Faith on credit, hope on layaway
If this life’s a test, I’m guessing late
But I showed up real, not clean or fake
No crown, no cross, no silver spoon
Just blood and breath and rent due soon
I fall, I rise, I love, I ain’t
Part-time atheist…
Part-time saint

I'm a full-time agnostic, and have been accused of playing both sides, but I'm not going to pretend to know what I don't know

Everybody agnostic , cuz nobody knows all the answers . at night the questions come on how we got here , it's never answered . if they say they don't , they're lying . Even Devout Christians wonder about evolution , its only natural

Oh, please, please. let me be in the room when you tell a catholic priest he is agnostic.:) 😂

No I’m not talking to priests , leave it at that
That wasn't the point of the song , he plays both side of the fence

As always my friend I love the story, love the lines, love the endeavor, love all your stuff...what I'm missing, what I really want to hear is your deep authentic soulful voice, will we ever hear that again?

My favorite line: "Sunday mornings smell like sin"
I think this is controversial enough to get attention, down the middle enough to satisfy most regular people.

I reckon most folks are agonistic
