Every Head Bowed

歌詞

Sunday mornin' was a fight I was runnun' from a clip-on tie It took Daddy's belt to get me into my Sunday best Lord's Supper would go on past Cracker crumbs and a little shot glass I was starvin' to death 'cause I didn't know Jesus yet But I was saved by a month-old Twinkle in my corduroy coat When every head bowed, every eye closed Amazing Grace don't make a sound Or Momma's gonna wear that backside out while shoutin' hallelujah If you raised your hand or came on down To repent of your sins there'd be little kid starin' a hole right through ya But I wasn't no angel so I wasn't gonna throw no stones When every head bowed, every eye closed Pass the plate and altar call Every verse of "I Surrender All" Squirming in my seat tummy growlin' like a grizzly bear We'd hit the door when the service closed Hopped in the car, burned up on the road Straight to KFC 'cause we're gonna beat the Catholics there While they're still confessing we were blessing our mashed potatoes With every head bowed, every eye closed While Daddy says grace put that fork back down Or Momma's gonna wear that backside out while shoutin' hallelujah I could have sworn I lost 15 pounds Lust for finger-lickin' greasy fried children burns a hole right through ya While Daddy's still prayin' everybody's dinner's done got cold With every head bowed, every eye closed Well God never struck me down Guess he thought it was a pretty good show With every head bowed, every eye closed
