lyrics

Going to church on Sunday morning
Was like wearing too tight a suit
I would listen to the preacher’s warning
Son don’t bite into that fruit

I’d get home round half past noon,
My father would have had a few
Mother would say lunch will be ready soon,
Man I loved that Sunday stew

My father would pour them some wine
And my mother would say when
He would laugh and pour way past the line
I would say grace and then

He would ask me about the Word
To see if I’d paid attention
I would notice that his speech was slurred
But I would not make mention

I’d tell him how the Lord loves us
As imperfect as we are
How salvation is through Jesus
Can’t be found at the local bar

That in the end there’s just one law
Love your neighbor as your own
He would smile but in his eyes I saw
He’d never leave the drink alone

Sometimes we’d go for a ride
in our old family sedan
we’d drive right through the countryside
And I’d listen to my old man

He would sing about the years
before my grandfather was born
Songs of joy and songs of tears
He’d ask me ‘bout that crown of thorns
