I've been tryin' to go to church
|
I've been tryin' to do better
|
But me and Saturday night we always wake up together
|
I know what I oughta be doin', but I keep on losin' track
|
I try to stay outta trouble, but the devil's draggin' me right back
|
|
And I know what I should be puttin' in the offering plate
|
But I doubled down in Biloxi on a couple of eights
|
I kept hopin' and a-prayin' but the dealer kept a-sayin' bust
|
See the chips were goin' down while the sun was comin' up
|
|
Amen, hallelujah
|
I keep on sayin' "Lord I'm gonna get to ya"
|
|
I've been tryin' to go to church
|
I've been tryin' to do better
|
But my friends are at the river and it's real pretty weather
|
Layin' on the sandbar thinkin', maybe I can make it Wednesday night
|
Then here comes that husband stealin' heifer and I reckon I'm gonna have to fight
|
|
Amen, hallelujah
|
I keep on a sayin', "Lord I'm gonna get to ya"
|
|
I've been tryin' to go to church
|
I've been tryin' to do better
|
But me and Saturday night we always wake up together
|
I know what I oughta be doin', but I keep on losin' track
|
I try to stay outta trouble, but the devil's draggin' me right back
|
|
Lord help me
