He Goes To Church

He wakes up early in the mornin’

Puts on his only blue suit

He hasn’t quite mastered tyin’ his tie on

The way his sweet Sarah used to

It’s been years since he’s talked to the good Lord

He’s not sure he even knows how

But he won’t be mowin’ the front yard today

He goes to church on Sundays now

No, he don’t know the words to ‘The Old Rugged Cross’

But he sings them the best that he can

‘Cause he knows that his angel is up there in Heaven

And he sure wants to see her again

For thirty-one years they were married

She never could get him to go

Now he’s up bright and early

There by 9:30 and sits on the very front row

And he bows his head with the members

And he shouts Amen good and loud

If only his Sarah could see him today

He goes to church on Sundays now

No, he don’t know the words to ‘The Old Rugged Cross’

But he sings them the best that he can

‘Cause he knows that his angel is up there in Heaven

And he sure wants to see her again

His kids can’t believe how he’s changin’

They tell him their mama’d be proud

And he’s always askin’ them all to go with him

He goes to church on Sundays now

No, he don’t know the words to ‘The Old Rugged Cross’

But he sings them the best that he can

‘Cause he knows that his angel is up there in Heaven

And he sure wants to see her again

He woke up early this mornin’

He goes to church on Sundays now
