She grew up on the front pew of the Bethel Baptist Church
Her mama led the choir and her daddy preached the word
She got her angel wings the day that she was born
Nobody
ever thought she'd end up growing horns
He blew into town on a dark and dusty wind
She felt like the rain for a kiss as sweet
as sin
He set her world on fire
until it all fell
But that devil met his match the day he broke her heart
She's singing,
Lord,
forgive me for what I'm about to do
It ain't Christian, but this one ain't on you
Well,
I've been sleeping with a well-known
heathen and I could sure use your help
I'll be heading back up to heaven when I drop him off in hell
Well, it won't be no gun,
it won't be no blade But I'm bound to be the one
to give him what he gave
I know it ain't right,
but after what he did to me
It's an eye for an eye,
I can't turn the other cheek Singing,
Lord,
forgive me for what I'm about to do
It ain't Christian,
but this one ain't on you Well,
I've been sleeping with a well-known
heathen and I could sure use your help
She stood there like a stone by a jury
of her peers They sentenced her to life,
but she never cried a tear
Her daddy smiled the day he found the note she left
behind He might have raised a cold-blood killer,
but he raised the praying kind
Singing,
Lord,
forgive me for what I'm about to do It ain't Christian,
but this one ain't on you Well,
I've been sleeping with a well-known
heathen and I could sure use your help
I'll be heading back up to heaven when I drop him off in hell
