BILLY GOT RELIGION

    
BILLY USED TO DRINK AND CUSS,
AND HAVE HIMSELF A GOOD OLD TIME.
HANGIN' OUT AT THE HONKY TONK,
WITH THE WOMEN ALL WAITIN' IN LINE.
GETTIN' STONED, BREAKIN' BONES,
ALWAYS OUT RUNNIN' AROUND.
THEN ONE DAY THE REVEREND JONES,
PUT HIS TENT ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF TOWN.

NOW BILLY'S NOT ONE TO PASS UP SOME FUN,
AND A MEETIN'S NO EXCEPTION TO THE RULE/
BUT IT'S OK 'CAUSE WE ALL KNOW,
THAT HE'S NOBODY'S FOOL,
BUT HE DIDN'T GET NO WOMEN THERE,
AND DIDN'T EVEN START HIM A FIGHT.
'CAUSE BILLY GOT RELIGION IN THE TENT,
LAST SATURDAY NIGHT.

BILLY GOT RELIGION IN THE TENT,
LAST SATURDAY NIGHT.
NOBODY KNOWS WHAT HAPPENED,
BUT WE THINK IT'S ALRIGHT.
HE TOOK THE HAND OF JESUS,
AND SAID "MY GOD YOU'RE OUT OF SIGHT",
WHEN BILLY GOT RELIGION IN THE TENT,
LAST SATURDAY NIGHT.
