Religion lyrics

Well he could almost taste the money

But he was sitting in a den of thieves

Looking for the great awakening

Trying to find a way to leave

But that's when he got religion

And the light went on inside

He said somebody up there likes me

Now he's working for the holy guide

He got drunk but he don't remember

That he'd been drinking in a bar downtown

When he thought he heard a choir of angels

Singing in the Tiki Lounge

And that's when he got religion

From no salesman on TV

Just a tap on the shoulder in the parking lot

He still drinks but he does believe

Religion, you do the best you can

We all make the same mistakes

We're gonna wind up with the man

Religion, oh you do the best you can

We all make the same mistakes

We're gonna wind up with the man

She was silent as he paid her

But the thanks she got was next to none

And as her car pulled out of the motel

She felt the presence of someone

And that's when she got religion

In the front of a compact Ford

Just a gentle voice on the stereo

Now she's a working girl who loves the lord
