I've been tryin' to go to church I've been tryin' to do betterBut me and Saturday and I We always wake up togetherI know what I oughta be doin' But I keep on losin' trackI try to stay out of trouble But the devil's draggin' me right backAnd I know what I should be Puttin' in the offerin' plateBut I doubled down in Biloxi On a couple of eightsI kept hopin' and a prayin' But the dealer kept a-sayin' bustSee the chips were goin' down While the sun was comin' upAmen HallelujahI keep on sayin' Lord I'm gonna get to yaI've been tryin' to go to church I've been tryin' to do betterBut my friends are at the river And it's real pretty weatherLayin' on the sin bar thinkin' Maybe I could make it Wednesday nightThen here comes that husband feelin' heifer And I reckon I'm gonna have to fightAmen HallelujahI keep on sayin' Lord I'm gonna get to yaI've been tryin' to go to church I've been tryin' to do betterBut me and Saturday and I We always wake up togetherI know what I oughta be doin' But I keep on losin' trackI try to stay out of trouble But the devil's draggin' me right back*
