Back Pew

Hallelujah

Showed up this morning 'cause I didn't know where else to go

Needed a word with the Father, Son, Holy Ghost

When I stepped in the lobby

The pastor he stopped me

Said, "Lily, where have you been? It's been a month or so"

I told him I've been home

Tryna get through some goodbye tears

And you don't even know

The Hell it took to get me here

Might've been fifteen minutes late

Might've missed half of the worship

But at least I showed my face

And showing up here's the first step

I've been through heartbreak hell

And my whole row can tell

'Cause I still smell like last night's booze

But I got a last ditch prayer

For the man upstairs

Oh Lord, would you help me through

Even if I'm in the back pew?

Sat in my car through the first couple services

Took a drag just to calm down the nervousness

I turned down the music

Told myself, just do it

Threw up a Hail Mary instead of cursin' him

I finally caught my breath

For the first time in way too long

I know I ain't there yet

But the light in the tunnel turned on

Might've been fifteen minutes late

Might've missed half of the worship

But at least I showed my face

And showing up here's the first step

I've been through heartbreak hell

And my whole row can tell

'Cause I still smell like last night's booze

But I got a last ditch prayer

For the man upstairs

Oh Lord, would you help me through

Even if I'm in the back pew?

I'm singing hallelujah

I hope it's coming in clear

I hope it's coming in clear

I'm singing hallelujah

From all the way back here

Even though I was fifteen minutes late

And I missed half of the worship

But at least I showed my face

And showing up here's the first step

I've been through heartbreak hell

And my whole row can tell

'Cause I still smell like last night's booze

But I got a last ditch prayer

For the man upstairs

Oh Lord, would you help me through

Even if I'm in the back pew?

Hallelujah
