Tryin' to Go to Church

I've been trying to go to church
I've been trying to do better
But me and Saturday night
We always wake up together

I know what I ought to be doing
But I keep on losing track
I try to stay out of trouble
But the devil's dragging me right back

And I know what I should be putting
In the offering plate
But I double down in Biloxi
On a couple of eights

I kept hoping and a-praying
But the dealer kept saying bust
See the chips were going down
While the sun was coming up

Amen, Hallelujah
I keep on saying Lord, I'm gonna get to You

I've been trying to go to church
I've been trying to do better
But my friends are at the river
And it's real pretty weather

Laying on the sand bar thinking
Maybe I can make it Wednesday night
Then here comes that husband stealing heifer
And I reckon I gon' have to fight

Amen, Hallelujah
I keep on saying Lord, I'm gonna get to You

I've been trying to go to church
I've been trying to do better
But me and Saturday night
We always wake up together

I know what I ought to be doing
But I keep on losing track
I try to stay out of trouble
But the devil's dragging me right back

Lord, help me
