Lyrics

Well I won t say Hallelujah, and my bible s full of money
Open up those church doors if you please
Cause man I m comin in and I ain t gonna wipe my shoes
Lord you can t keep a sinner on his knees
Well I don t know how to tango, and there s hornets in the daisies
But tonight I m handlin snakes like they was car-keys
Well I heard the floodgates crashed last night
And that boy fell asleep at the switchplate
And now they re baptisin anything that breathes
Oh I would bust that light bulb with a hammer
Crawl down in the basement and pull that fuse
O Lord whatever force is required
Well, that s exactly what I ll use
YODEL
Oh well those trumpet valves have rusted
And the angels lost their pride
Don t y know they re rakin em in like a pile of dead leaves
Now there s bunk-beds for us up in Heaven
And even I got a friend in Jesus
I always knew he was waitin up there for me
