Can’t Go To Church

[Intro]
(I can't, I can’t
I can't, I can't)

[Verse 1]
When the bells ring out in the streets of town, I can’t be found
Anywhere near 'em (I can't), oh
I'm gon' get long-gone like a leavin' song, but I'll sing if you would
Hopin' that you’ll hear ’em, oh-whoa

I ain't tryin’ to avoid that place
But I don't know what else to do
I don't wanna see her face
Sittin' in the front pew

[Chorus]
I’ll still do my prayin' but I'll do it somewhere else
Ain't it crazy how an angel can drag a man through hell?
Oh, I know Sunday mornin' she'll come walkin' through that door
So, Lord, forgive me, I can't go to church anymore

I can't, I can't
I can't go to church anymore
I can't, I can't
I can't go to church anymore

[Verse 2]
Now, it ain't fair that we gotta share the same place where
Everybody does their healin', oh-whoa
'Cause if she's in there, I'll just stare, and I won't hear
A thing that preacher's preachin'

[Chorus]
I'll still do my prayin' but I'll do it somewhere else
Ain't it crazy how an angel can drag a man through hell?
Oh, I know Sunday mornin' she'll come walkin' through that door
So, Lord, forgive me, I can't go to church anymore
Can't go to church anymore, oh-whoa-oh

[Bridge]
She gets the church, she gets the Bible
I get the hurt, I get the bottle

I ain't tryin' to avoid that place
But I don't know what else to do (I don't know what else to do)
I don't wanna see her face
Sittin' in the front pew
With someone new

[Chorus]
So I'm gonna do my prayin' but I'll do it somewhere else
(I'll do it somewhere else)
Ain't it crazy how an angel can drag a man through hell?
Oh, I know Sunday mornin' she'll come walkin' through that door (Yeah, she'll come walkin')
So, Lord, forgive me (forgive me) I can't go to church anymore
(I can't, I can't)
Can't go to church anymore (I can't, I can't)
(Can't go to church anymore) oh, yeah

She gets the church, she gets the Bible
I get the hurt, I get the bottle

[Outro]
I can't, I can't
I can't go to church anymore
I can't, I can't
I can't go to church anymore
I can't, I can't
I can't go to church anymore
I can't, I can't
I can't go to church anymore
