He packed a big-
ass church out near Rogersville
He drove the Cadillac she
drove the Oldsmobile
Every Friday he shacked up with his mistress
Doing things that he'd never
do with the Mrs.
Who was back at home cooking
dinner for him
They had a son who never
had the calling
He went all over town drink
ing and balling
Got some girl pregnant when
he was still a teen
Working at McDonald's
and pumping gasoline
Driving that Camaro fast with all his
friends
Daddy's been preaching the word
ever since he was twelve
All about a merciful savior
and the fires of hell
I know he meant it,
so what's a little straying
He got everybody singing
and a praying
"That devil better not come back down here
again"
Missy wore them go- go boots; it did
something for him
Made him think his wife back home
was homely and boring
He met these guys who didn't
mind getting dirty
He was a pillar and his alibi was sturdy
It only took a little bit of cash
and the deed was done
Stained glass windows,
Jesus looking down
Organs playing music to the
middle aged crowd
His wife's in the ground the
devil's in his head
Them go- go boots are un
derneath the bed
But it's a small town and
word gets around
Gossip is a flying and his son
starts to thinking
He see's his Daddy's new wife driving
around in a Lincoln
There's a lot he'd like to ask
if he could get the chance
But he's scared he might
have to kill the old man
He wonders what the Lord will say
when he weighs it all out
