Woo Woo Blackbird on the old church steeple Spanish moss hangin' in the settin' sun Every house house has got a Bible and a loaded gun We got preachers and politicians 'Round here it's kinda hard to tell which one Is gonna do more talkin' with a crooked tongue This town's got the good lord shakin' his head Lookin' down thinkin' we ain't heard a word he said A word he said Baptized in Southern Gothic In the garden of good and evil Devil right here, who would've thought it? In a town full of God-fearin' people Dogs and deadbolts guard the night Nothin' left to do but kneel and pray We got a church on every corner So why does heaven feel so far away? Far away (ooh) Must be somethin' in the muddy water Turns the whisky 'bout as sweet as sin SongtexteEvery drunk in town can sing a brown bag hymn Good fences make good neighbors But good neighbors make good lovers too And when your man ain't home any man will do This town's got the good lord shakin' his head (shakin' his head) Lookin' down thinkin' we ain't heard a word he said A word he said Word he said Baptized in Southern Gothic In the garden of good and evil Devil right here, who would've thought it? In a town full of God-fearin' people Dogs and deadbolts guard the night Nothin' left to do but kneel and pray (kneel and pray) We got a church on every corner So why does heaven feel so far away? (Feel so far away) Far away High on homegrown, smokin' that brimstone Mama ain't stoppin', poppin' that cotton No happy ever after, waitin' on the rapture now Baptized in Southern Gothic In the garden of good and evil Devil right here, who would've thought it? (Who would've thought it?) In a town full of God-fearin' people Dogs and deadbolts guard the night (guard the night) Nothin' left to do but kneel and pray We got a church on every corner (every corner) So why does heaven feel so far away?
