Well he could almost taste the money
But he was sitting in a den of thieves
Looking for the great awakening
Trying to find a way to leave
But thats when he got religion
And the light went on inside
He said somebody up there likes me
Now hes working for the holy guide
He got drunk but he dont remember
That hed been drinking in a bar downtown
When he thought he heard a choir of angels
Singing in the Tiki Lounge
And thats when he got religion
From no salesman on TV
Just a tap on the shoulder in the parking lot
He still drinks but he does believe
Religion, you do the best you can
We all make the same mistakes
Were gonna wind up with the man
Religion, oh you do the best you can
We all make the same mistakes
Were gonna wind up with the man
She was silent as he paid her
But the thanks she got was next to none
And as her car pulled out of the motel
She felt the presence of someone
And thats when she got religion
In the front of a compact Ford
Just a gentle voice on the stereo
Now shes a working girl who loves the lord
