Church Bells

Waking up when the rooster crow On this rock-hard bed still halfway dosed Don't recall all of what happened Just gotta get back home And given my one call I use it on my brother To bail me out again Tell him I'll pay him back When the money comes After I pay the rent Now we're driving down the county line And I hope I can make it back in time For the Sunday service with my family So my gal won't leave me But when I got back they were already gone So I'll pour me a glass and sing a song Fore I stumble down to the church To listen to God's word And all this drinking And sitting alone Has got me thinking Where in the hell I went wrong So when I hear the church bells Ringing through the hollow I know I got to make it there Cause I can hear her calling And it wasn't the easiest thing When they heard the preacher's daughter Was carrying an outlaw's heir And she's seen my high and low And she's stuck around But this time I don't know If she'll carry my heavy load Cause all this drinking And sitting alone Has got me thinking Where in the hell I went wrong So when I hear the church bells Ringing through the hollow I know I got to make it there Cause I can hear her calling As I bust through the door I can see her Her beautiful eyes staring down on me And I make a scene as I plead For one last chance to show the good in me Cause all this drinking And sitting alone Has got me thinking Where in the hell I went wrong So when I hear the church bells Ringing through the hollow I know I got to make it there Cause I can hear her calling Oh Lord help me make it there Cause I can hear her calling
