Hungover in a Church Pew Songtext
von Jelly Roll

And will not be condemned
Will not be lost to the fiery lakes of Hell
We are told to repent to be baptized
In the Holy Ghost, you are saved by the blood of Jesus Christ

She hit the road and I hit the bottle
I knew she wouldn′t be back tomorrow
When I'd be hurtin′ in the mornin' either way
So, I called the boys, said, "Let's go raise some hell"
But they′ve settled down, so I went by myself
To smoke cigarettes and pour poison on my pain

Well, I drank Teremana ′til me and it were gone
I ain't in a good place, but better here than home

I′m hungover in a church pew
Girl, I hurt you, but I hurt too
I'm comin′ down on a Sunday mornin'
Hands shakin′, my forehead pourin'
Lord knows all the hell you put me through
On a Saturday, what was I supposed to do?
I'm hungover in a church pew


The sun beatin′ down on a stained-glass window
Preacher man preachin′ that fire and brimstone
And I just hope that it would ease my burden
I ain't been in a while, so I ain′t gonna take my
Piece of the bread and nip of the grape wine
Even though it would keep my head from hurtin'

′Cause I drank Teremana 'til me and it were gone
I don′t wanna be here, but I'm where I belong

I'm hungover in a church pew
Girl, I hurt you, but I hurt too
I′m comin′ down on a Sunday mornin'
Hands shakin′, my forehead pourin'
Lord knows all the hell you put me through
On a Saturday, what was I supposed to do?
I′m hungover in a church pew

Got a long road, a broken heart
Ahead of me, I'll be between
The Bible and a neon sign
This ain′t the first, won't be the last time


I'm hungover in a church pew
Girl, I hurt you, but I hurt too
I′m comin′ down on a Sunday mornin'
Hands shakin′, my forehead pourin'
Lord knows all the hell you put me through
I bet the devil never thought this is what I′d do
I'm hungover in a church pew

We have been adopted into the family of God through Christ Jesus
In Him we have and we find redemption through His blood
The forgiveness of sins
