lyrics

I was born beneath a Georgia pine
and my Daddy’s stare
grew up in the steeple shine
felt the tug of the Bible Belt
went to Revival every year cause that’s just what we did
heard the preacher telling all the sheep to shut up and repent

Scheduling a revival is like planning a heart attack
you might see the signs along the way, but you never know when it will hit
Down here in the shallow South(stubborn, Christ-haunted) it’s all we can do
is schedule revivals thinking God will pay his dues

Well, I joined the youth group and went to camp, got down on my knees
I was down there at the altar
the band played “softly and tenderly”
I started reading the Bible when I got back it lasted all of a week, but I had a brown-haired girl on my mind who was way out of my league

Now, I live with two ghosts
one holy, one profane
I read the marquees every 50 feet those sayings they drive me insane
Now, I know that I’m no better
and it could be a whole lot worse,
but if those white-washed buildings
are the wedding dress then honey, let’s try on a skirt
