[Chorus]
Halos and horns, sinners and saints
Hearts that are torn between what's wrong and right
Just because it feels right does not make it so
So we struggle through life in horns and halos

[Verse 1]
Tempted and tried with each step we take
We stumble and slide and make our mistakes
Ask God to forgive us for all of our sins
Then we take off our horns and wear halos again

[Chorus]

[Verse 2]
Halos and horns, sinners and saints
We're praised or we're scorned, we either run or we faint
Oh, but life is a challenge from the day that we're born
Just trying to balance halos and horns
It's heaven or hell, halos or horns

[Chorus]
Halos and horns, sinners and saints
Hearts that are torn between what's wrong and right
But just because it feels right; well, that don't make it so
So we struggle through life in horns or halos
It's either horns or halos

Dolly Rebecca Parton (born January 19, 1946) is an American singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, actress, author, and philanthropist, best known for her work in country music

Beginning her career as a child performer, Parton issued a few modestly successful singles from 1959 through the mid-1960s, showcasing her distinctive soprano voice. She came to greater prominence in 1967 as a featured performer on singer Porter Wagoner’s weekly television program; their first duet single, a cover of Tom Paxton’s “The Last Thing on My Mind”, was a top-ten hit on the country singles charts, and led to several successful albums before they ended their partnership in 1974. Moving towards mainstream pop music, Parton’s 1977 single “Here You Come Again” was a success on both the country and pop charts. A string of pop-country hits followed into the mid-1980s, the most successful being her 1981 hit 9 to 5" (from the film of the same name), and her 1983 duet with Kenny Rogers “Islands in the Stream”, both of which topped the U.S. pop and country singles charts. A pair of albums recorded with Linda Ronstadt and Emmylou Harris were among her later successes. In the late 1990s, Parton returned to classic country/bluegrass with a series of acclaimed recordings
