Gotta Get Me Some Church Song

[Verse 1]

Well I woke up Sunday mornin’, smellin’ last night on my shirt, My boots were on the table and my head was kinda hurt. My mama texted “Boy, you better straighten out that smirk,” Guess I’ve been raisin' Cain again — I gotta get me some church.

[Chorus]

I gotta get me some church, Where the sinners and the saints both search, For a clean soul rinse like a holy-man lurch, Baptized fresh like a creek bed perch — Yes sir, I gotta get me some church.

[Verse 2]

I been fishin', I been wishin’ for a little bit of grace, Been runnin’ round in circles like a hound in a race. Bartender knows my name, but that choir knows my hurt, If I'm gonna make it through the week, I gotta get me some church.

[Chorus]

I gotta get me some church, Where the pastor preaches truth with a squint and a smirk, Where the banjo plucks sweet and the Spirit goes berserk, Raise my hands high till redemption starts to work — Lord knows, I gotta get me some church.

[Bridge]

I said Lord... I done tried to behave, But temptation’s got a grip like a possum in the cave. If you got a pew open, I’ll sit, I won’t swerve — Just save me a spot by the potluck dessert!

[Chorus – Repeat]

I gotta get me some church, Gonna wash off trouble and the Friday night dirt, Gonna clap off-beat like I'm tryin’ to reverse All the dumb things I did — man, it only gets worse! Hallelujah! I gotta get me some church.

[Outro]

Strum that banjo, kick that dust — Lord, I’m comin’ as I must... 'Cause I'm a half-broke saint with a whole lotta thirst — Yeah buddy… I gotta get me some church.
