I quit church and never went back,
sang my last recovered hymn.
Soon as I was gone, the choir said, Amen.
I was blind,
but now I see the judgment that was passed on me.
Lord, have mercy, set me free.
Amen.
Hallelujah,
I've been saved.
I paid my dues in the back pew and fell from grace.
Heaven help us, the devil ain't in hell.
He's running all the
angels out of the Bible belt.
He wrote my scarlet letter down,
preached it to the whole damn town.
Dug my grave, cast me out, yeah,
and then he said,
Fold your hands,
close your legs,
shut your mouth and bow your head.
Call me a lost cause, I'd better hop on.
Amen.
Hallelujah,
I've been saved.
I paid my
dues in the back pew and fell from grace.
Heaven help us, the devil ain't in hell.
He's running all the angels out of the Bible belt.
He wrote my scarlet letter down,
preached it to the whole damn town.
Oh, I can't make me whole again.
Nothing but the blood.
Oh,
I can't make me whole again.
Nothing but the blood.
Hallelujah,
I've been saved.
I've paid my dues in the back pew and fell from grace.
Heaven help us, the devil ain't in hell.
He's running all the angels out of the Bible belt.
He's running all the angels out of the Bible belt.
