Verse 2:
AWell (x02220@1)I grew up in the glass house of a preacher,

ASee (x02220@1)they always point you out.
AYeah, (x02220@1)boy  it's just like Toby Mac used to say;
B"Some (x2444x@1)people gotta learn the hard way",

Ain (x02220@1)the first verse became my wife.
AAnd (x02220@1)there's one last thing I'd like to mention.
BWe (x2444x@1)owe it all to the author of redemption.
