I go to church on sunday morning
I go to church I got to pray
I go to church on sunday morning time
Get down on my knees and I got to pray
You got to pray to the lord
You got to pray to the lord
I've done some things in life
I ain't proud of
I go to church I gotta pray
I even shot a man down in tennessee
Buried him in a shallow grave
You got to pray to the lord
You got to pray to the lord
And when I get down to
Those pearly gates
St Peter he gonna say
You've done too many
Bad things in your life son
You gotta go to church ya got to pray
Let this be a lesson to you my friend
You gotta go to church you gotta pray
Don't want to be like me at the pearly gates
Without a goddamn thing to say
