Southern Baptist Heartbreak
Too much makeup for a Sunday
Virginia Wilson, you oughta be ashamed
Somewhere in the second verse of, 'Have Thine Own Way'
She left an empty pew, she said, "I think that's what I'll do"
And now she's singing hallelujah on a Saturday night
She's stepping out looking for the other life
Press-on nails and a run in her hose
Goin' downtown, down she goes
And she don't care if it's a big mistake
She needs a whole lot more than Amazing Grace
She's running from that Southern Baptist Heartbreak
"She must be easy," that's what they say
Her skirt's too short for the PTA
But good girls don't smoke and when they kneel, they pray
But she had enough of that come on, back-stabbing, back-sliding love
Now she's singing hallelujah on a Saturday night
She's stepping out looking for the other life
Press-on nails and a run in her hose
Goin' downtown, down she goes
And she don't care if it's a big mistake
She needs a whole lot more than Amazing Grace
She's running from that Southern Baptist Heartbreak
Sweet Virginia, where have you gone?
Everybody misses you
'Cause there's no one left to catch the stones
Singing hallelujah on a Saturday night
Stepping out, looking for the other life
Press-on nails and a run in her hose
Goin downtown, down she goes
She don't care if it's a big mistake
She needs a whole lot more than Amazing Grace
She's running from that Southern Baptist
Passin' on that peace that passeth
And livin' out a Southern Baptist Heartbreak
