Well he could almost taste the money
But he was sitting in a den of thieves
Looking for
the great awakening
Trying to find a way to leave
But that's when he got religion
And
the light went on inside
He said somebody up there likes me
Now he's working for the holy
guide
He got drunk but he don't remember
That he'd been drinking in a bar
downtown
When he thought he heard a choir of angels
Singing in the Tiki Lounge
And
that's when he got religion
From no salesman on TV
Just a tap on the shoulder in the
parking lot
He still drinks but he does believe
Religion, you do the best you
can
We all make the same mistakes
We're gonna wind up with the man
Religion, oh
you do the best you can
We all make the same mistakes
We're gonna wind up with the
man
She was silent as he paid her
But the thanks she got was next to none
And
as her car pulled out of the motel
She felt the presence of someone
And that's when she
got religion
In the front of a compact Ford
Just a gentle voice on the stereo
Now
she's a working girl who loves the lord
