I've been tryin' to go to church I've been tryin' to do better
But me and Saturday and I We always wake up together
I know what I oughta be doin' But I keep on losin' track
I try to stay out of trouble But the devil's draggin' me right back
And I know what I should be Puttin' in the offerin' 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 sin bar thinkin' Maybe I could make it Wednesday night
Then here comes that husband feelin' heifer And I reckon I'm gonna have to fight
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 me and Saturday and I We always wake up together
I know what I oughta be doin' But I keep on losin' track
I try to stay out of trouble But the devil's draggin' me right back
