(Capo on 3)
Intro.: (D7) x times
I (D7)got baptized when I was ten
I got a little dirty so I did it again
The preacher said son why are you back so soon
I said "let's get this done I've got things to do"
I was (A7)saved in the morning and back that after-(D7)noon
(Chorus)
Well I (G7)sing hallelujah and I shout amen
I (D7)wrestle with the devil and sometimes I win
Sometimes I (A7)lose, well I hate to disappoint you but I've got these
No good living, hard time loving, roadhouse singing, good time god fearing (D7)blues
Inst.: (D7) x 3 bars
I (D7)turned eighteen and I left home
God blessed my soul and I was ready to roam
I got to the desert and I turned around
Nobody ever told me about the things I found
I (A7)went down to the river, this time I thought I might (D7) drown
Repeat Chorus

I keep my (D7)hands in my pocket and keep my thoughts to myself
I keep my liquor on the very top shelf
It's good to meet you preacher but I just can't stay
I'm going to get to heaven but I'm going my way
I may (A7)see you Sunday morning or I'll see you on judgment (D7)day
Repeat Chorus
Inst.: (D7) x 4 bars

Yeah, I've got these (A7)no good living, hard time loving, roadhouse singing
Good time god fearing (D7) blues
