Tryin' to Go to Church

[00:08.76] I've been trying to go to church
[00:18.27] I've been trying to do better
[00:19.85] But me and Saturday night
[00:21.76] We always wake up together
[00:23.60] I know what I ought to be doing
[00:25.77] But I keep on losing track
[00:30.23] I try to stay out of trouble
[00:32.30] But the devil's dragging me right back
[00:37.28] And I know what I should be putting
[00:39.85] In the offering plate
[00:40.72] But I double down in Biloxi
[00:43.20] On a couple of eights
[00:44.75] I kept hoping and a-praying
[00:46.81] But the dealer kept saying bust
[00:50.37] See the chips were going down
[00:53.71] While the sun was coming up
[00:59.36] Amen, Hallelujah
[01:05.88] I keep on saying Lord, I'm gonna get to You
[01:12.89] I've been trying to go to church
[01:15.28] I've been trying to do better
[01:16.81] But my friends are at the river
[01:18.83] And it's real pretty weather
[01:20.21] Laying on the sand bar thinking
[01:22.31] Maybe I can make it Wednesday night
[01:26.98] Then here comes that husband stealing heifer
[01:29.20] And I reckon I gon' have to fight
[01:34.45] Amen, Hallelujah
[02:02.45] I keep on saying Lord, I'm gonna get to You
[02:09.45] I've been trying to go to church
[02:11.95] I've been trying to do better
[02:13.49] But me and Saturday night
[02:15.43] We always wake up together
[02:16.92] I know what I ought to be doing
[02:18.93] But I keep on losing track
[02:23.49] I try to stay out of trouble
[02:26.93] But the devil's dragging me right back
[02:36.40] Lord, help me
[02:48.42]
