| I could’ve had religion, I could religion
|
| But my little girl wouldn’t let me pray
|
| I swear to the world she drove my spirit away
|
| She drove my spirit away, she drove my spirit away
|
| I could’ve had religion, I could’ve had religion
|
| But my little girl wouldn’t let me pray
|
| I tell the truth, she drove my spirit away
|
| She drove my spirit away
|
| I could’ve been, I could’ve been a preacher
|
| But I changed my mind the other nigh
|
| The woman I have now, she would not treat me right
|
| She would not treat me right
|
| I’ve been a bad man, as bad can be
|
| Gonna pray to the Lord above to send his blessing on me
|
| I want some mercy, you got set my soul free
|
| Set my soul free, Please.
|
| I could’ve had, I could’ve had religion
|
| But my little girl wouldn’t let me pray
|
| Well, demon woman, you sent the devil my way
|
| You sent the devil my way
|
| Oh Lord above please send my fire
|
| Send your mercy right down to me
|
| That woman set the devil on me
|
| She set the devil on me
|
| She set the devil one me
|
| She set the devil on me
|
| Could’ve had religion |
