[Intro]
D
[Verse 1]
D
Sunday morning was a fight
D
I was running from a clip on tie
G
It took daddy's belt
D
To get me in my Sunday's best
D
Lord supper would go on past
D
Cracker crumbs and a little shot glass
G
I was starving to death
D
Because I didn't know Jesus yet
[Chorus 1]
A
But I was saved by a month-old Twinkie
G
In my corduroy coat
N.C. D
With every head bowed every eyed closed
G
Amazing grace don't make a sound
D
Or momma's gonna wear that back side out
D
While shouting hallelujah
G
If you raised your hand or came on down
D
To repent of your sins they'll be a little kid
D
Staring a hole right through you
A G
But I was no angel so I wasn't gonna throw no stone
N.C. D
When every head bowed every eye closed
[Verse 2]
D
Pass a plate in alter call
D
Every verse if I surrender all
G
A squirming in my seat tummy growling
D
Like a grizzly bear
D
Hit the door as the service closed
D
Hopped in the car burned up the road
G
To the KFC because I'm going
D
To beat the Catholics there
[Chorus 2]
A
While they were still confessing
G
We were blessing our mashed potatoes
N.C. D
With every head bowed every eye closed
G
While daddy says grace put that fork back down
D
Or momma's gonna wear that back side out
D
While shouting hallelujah
G
I could have sworn I lost 15 pounds
D
Lust for finger licking greasy fried chicken
D
Burns a whole right through you
A
While daddy's still praying
G
Everybody's dinner done got cold
N.C. D
With every head bowed every eye closed
[Solo]
G G D D
[Outro]
A
Well God never struck me down
G
Guess He thought it was a pretty good show (show show)
N.C. D
Every head bowed every eye closed
N.C. D D D D
Every head bowed every eye closed
