saint to a sinner lyrics

You put a halo and wings around me
Now you say that I have gone bad
But while you were busy with business and booze
I lost the wings and the halo I had

You say I went from a saint to a sinner
But you can't blame me for it all
You were the teacher I was just a beginner
You don't know how it hurt me to fall
[ piano - steel ]
You didn't think that your angel could wander
But I'm just like you flesh and bone
While you had your drinkin' your buddies and business
I guess I had too much time all alone

You say I went from a saint to a sinner...
