Sunday No Show

Well I grew up clean and I grew up right
And I always told the truth
But I met an angel late one night
I didn't know the things she knew
She said: Don't you worry about the offering plate
Put your money in the juke box
Call it luck or you can call it fate
But Heaven's door is unlocked

Don't tell the preacher, I've been sinning
I took the apple, and I just bit in
Beyond the garden, where all the weeds grow
I need forgiveness, Sunday no show

Well I never knew how hard it'd be
To stay between the lines
I know right from wrong, but my will is gone
So I'll do it one more time
Say a prayer that I make it out alive
With a heart that's still unbroken
I hit my knees, I can't close my eyes
Because Heaven's door's wide open

Don't tell the preacher, I've been sinning
I took the apple, and I just bit in
Beyond the garden, where all the weeds grow
I need forgiveness, Sunday no show

Hallelujah, is what I need
Hallelujah, set me free
Hallelujah, leave me at home
Hallelujah, on my soul

Don't tell the preacher, I've been sinning
I took the apple, and I bit in
Beyond the garden, where the weeds grow
I need forgiveness, Sunday no show
Hallelujah, is what I need
Hallelujah, set me free
Hallelujah, on my soul
Hallelujah, Sunday no show
