Tryin' To Go To Church - Ashton Shepherd

I’ve been tryin' to go to church

I’ve been tryin' to do better

But me and Saturday night we always wake up together

I know what I oughta be doin', but I keep on losin' track

I try to stay outta trouble, but the devil’s draggin' me right back

And I know what I should be puttin' in the offering plate

But I doubled down in Biloxi on a couple of eights

I kept hopin' and a-prayin' but the dealer kept a-sayin' bust

See the chips were goin' down while the sun was comin' up

Amen, hallelujah

I keep on sayin' «Lord I’m gonna get to ya»

I’ve been tryin' to go to church

I’ve been tryin' to do better

But my friends are at the river and it’s real pretty weather

Layin' on the sandbar thinkin', maybe I can make it Wednesday night

Then here comes that husband Steven Hoefer and I reckon I’m gonna have to fight

Amen, hallelujah

I keep on a sayin', «Lord I’m gonna get to ya»

I’ve been tryin' to go to church

I’ve been tryin' to do better

But me and Saturday night we always wake up together

I know what I oughta be doin', but I keep on losin' track

I try to stay outta trouble, but the devil’s draggin' me right back

Lord help me
