Lyrics

[Verse 1]
There's a girl in Shellbyville
Gave her life to Jesus
First Antioch Baptist church
Where her daddy preaches
She's pretty as her momma
She's only twenty three
She could be an angel
Lord, 'cause she's bringing out the devil in me
[Verse 2]
Lord, forgive me for what I'm thinking
'Cause it's Saturday night and I'm high
And I've been drinking
But come tomorrow morning across the aisle
I look over, and see her smile
I bow my head and the choir sings
Lord, forgive me she's bringing out the devil in me
[Verse 3]
Sundress on a willow tree
This moon on the water
I know the lord's been good to me
When I look at the preachers daughter
She's my Delilah
She brings me to my knees
She could be an angel
'Cause she's bringing out the devil in me
[Verse 4]
Lord, forgive me for what I'm thinking
It's Saturday night and I'm high
And I've been drinking
Come tomorrow morning across the aisle
I look over, and see her smile
I bow my head and the choir sings
Lord, forgive me she's bringing out the devil in me
[Verse 5]
Lord, forgive me for what I'm thinking
Saturday night and I'm high
And I've been drinking
Come tomorrow morning across the aisle
I look over, and see her smile
I bow my head and the choir sings
Lord, forgive me she's bringing out the devil in me
Lord, forgive me she's bringing out the devil in me
