Can't Go to Church

(I can't, I can't)

(I can't, I can't)

When the bells ring out in the streets of town

I can't be found anywhere near 'em (I can't, oh)

I'm gon' get long-gone like a leaving song

But I'll sin if you would, hoping that'll hear 'em

(Oh, whoa)

I ain't tryin' to avoid that place

But I don't know what else to do

I don't wanna see her face

Sitting in the front pew

I'll still do my praying but I'll do it somewhere else

Ain't it crazy how an angel can drag a man through Hell?

Oh, I know Sunday morning she'll come walking through that door

So Lord, forgive me, I can't go to church anymore

(I can't, I can't, I can't go to church anymore)

( Can't, I can't, I can't go to church anymore)

Now it ain't fair that we've gotta share the same place where

Everybody does their healing (Oh)

'Cause if she's in there, I'll just stare and I won't hear

A thing that preacher's preaching

I'll still do my praying but I'll do it somewhere else

Ain't it crazy how an angel can drag a man through Hell?

Oh, I know Sunday morning she'll come walking through that door

So Lord, forgive me, I can't go to church anymore

Can't go to church anymore (Oh)

She gets the church

She gets the Bible

I get the hurt

I get the bottle

I ain't tryin' to avoid that place

But I don't know what else to do

I don't wanna see her face

Sitting in the front pew with someone new

So I'm gonna do my praying but I'll do it somewhere else

Ain't it crazy how an angel can drag a man through Hell?

Oh, I know Sunday morning she'll come walking through that door

So Lord, forgive me, I can't go to church anymore

Can't go to church anymore

(Oh, yeah)

She gets the church

She gets the Bible

I get the hurt

I get the bottle

(I can't, I can't, I can't go to church anymore)

(I can't, I can't, I can't go to church anymore)

(I can't, I can't, I can't go to church anymore)

(I can't, I can't, I can't go to church anymore)
