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
