God Fearing Blues

(album: When The Money's All Gone - 2009)

I got baptized when I was ten
I got a little dirty so I did it again
The preacher said, "Son, why're you back so soon?"
I said "Let's get this done, I've got things to do"
I was saved in the morning and back that afternoon

I sing hallelujah and I shout amen
I wrestle with the devil and sometimes I win
Sometimes I lose
Well I hate to disappoint you
But I've got these no-good living
White-line loving, roadhouse singing
Good time God-fearing blues

I turned eighteen and I left home
God blessed my soul and I was ready to roam
I got to the desert and I turned around
Nobody ever told me 'bout the things I found
I went back to the river, this time I thought I might drown

I sing hallelujah and I shout amen
I wrestle with the devil and sometimes I win
Sometimes I lose
Well I hate to disappoint you
But I've got these no-good living
White-line loving, roadhouse singing
Good time God-fearing blues

I keep my hands in my pocket, keep my thoughts to myself
I keep my liquor on the very top shelf
It's good to meet you, Preacher, but I just can't stay
I'm gonna get to heaven but I'm going my way
I may see you Sunday morning, I'll see you on Judgment Day

I sing hallelujah and I shout amen
I wrestle with the devil and sometimes I win
Sometimes I lose
Well I hate to disappoint you
But I've got these no-good living
White-line loving, roadhouse singing
Good time God-fearing blues

Yeah I've got these no-good living
White-line loving, roadhouse singing
Good-time God-fearing blues
