[Intro]

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


[Verse 1]

She hit the road and I hit the bottle

I knew she wouldn't be back tomorrow

And 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


[Pre-Chorus]

Well, I drank Teremana 'til me and it were gone

I ain't in a good place, but better here than home


[Chorus]

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


[Verse 2]

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'


[Pre-Chorus]

'Cause I drank Teremana 'til me and it were gone

I don't wanna be here, but I'm where I belong


[Chorus]

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


[Bridge]

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


[Chorus]

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


[Outro]

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
