Old Time Religion Songtext

von Parker Millsap

He's got old time religion
Buries his cash in a coffee can
And he makes his decisions
Down on on his knees, he's a full grown man
And he had a vision
Of a fire, it burned up all the land
And you could call it superstition
You could run just as fast as you can
He took a beating
His father screamed at the top of his lungs
An old testament reading
If you spare the rod you spoil the sun
He's got scars for his bleeding
The fear of God fills everyone of you
You can listen to him pleading
Pleading for the holy son
Give me that old time religion
Give me that old time religion
Give me that old time religion
It's good enough for me
He's got a king James edition
With all of the words of Christ in red
And he reads the inscription
Every night when he goes to bed
And he goes fishing
For sinning men like jesus said
Got an old time conviction
Keeps the bodies in the shed
He had a woman
He took her to church every Sunday morning
He said submit to you husband
Submit me to thus sayeth the Lord
Well he never saw it coming
When she tried to get away in his '34 Ford
Now a widow a strumming
On a Banjo with a missing in chord
Give me that old time religion
Give me that old time religion
Give me that old time religion
It's good enough for me
Give me that old time religion
Give me that old time religion
Give me that old time religion
It's good enough
It's good enough
It's good enough for me
