| Sunday morning, a quarter past ten
|
| The congregation says amen
|
| The friends and neighbors come rolling in
|
| Amazing grace and original sin
|
| The preacher said one of us has strayed
|
| We sort of shuffled in that nervous way
|
| And then we all breathed a sigh of relief
|
| When Jimmy Miller fell to his knees
|
| There’s not a dry eye in sight
|
| When everybody sings I Saw The Light
|
| 'Cause we all try to do what’s right
|
| From Sunday morning to Saturday night
|
| Betty Miller found a younger man
|
| Went to Memphis with a brand new plan
|
| And poor ol' Jimmy didn’t have a clue
|
| He was too bust chasing you know who
|
| The preacher prayed and Jimmy just cried
|
| And we all tried to act surprised
|
| That Betty left in his brand new car
|
| We saw it all last night at the bar
|
| There’s not a dry eye in sight
|
| When everybody sings I Saw The Light
|
| 'Cause we all try to do what’s right
|
| From Sunday morning to Saturday night
|
| We hurry home and we eat fried chicken
|
| Thank God for the week we’re forgiven
|
| And we’ll put up a hell of a fight
|
| From Sunday morning to Saturday night
|
| There’s not a dry eye in sight
|
| When everybody sings I Saw The Light
|
| 'Cause we all try to do what’s right
|
| From Sunday morning to Saturday night |
