Church Clothes

[Verse 1: Mindy Ellis Campbell]
A pressed shirt, you tuck it in
You tie your tie, tie it again
I put a little curl in my hair
Pink on my cheeks, barely there
A proper skirt hits at the knee
A good sweater in wintergreen
You shake the keys downstairs
I hit the lights, not a minute to spare

[Pre-Chorus: Mindy Ellis Campbell]
Slip a five in the Bible for the offering plate
What a beautiful picture we both make

[Chorus: Mindy Ellis Campbell]
You drive, I look out the window
It's not right, but nobody says so
We walk in and head to the same pew
And hold hands just like we're supposed to
But last night, you slept on thе sofa
And these days, I don't evеn know ya
We fight like hell, but nobody knows
When we're wearin' our church clothes

[Verse 2: Craig Campbell]
We stand up, we sing a hymn
We say a prayer for other friends
We're turnin' to the Book of John
I'm thinkin' how I can't go on

[Pre-Chorus: Craig Campbell]
But we smile and we give it our Sunday best
If we're lost, couldn't tell by the way we're dressed

[Chorus: Both]
I drive, you look out the window
It's not right, but nobody says so
We walk in, you head to the bedroom
But I don't, I do what I want to
Like last week when I packed a suitcase
And came close to gettin' my own place
All this is stuff that nobody knows
When we're wearin' our church clothes

[Bridge: Both]
All week, don't speak, don't touch
As if nobody's watchin' us
Lord knows we've got it down
What would they say if we gave up?

[Chorus: Mindy Ellis Campbell, Both]
You drive, I look out the window
It's not right, but nobody says so
We walk in like we've never been so close
Miles apart but careful that it don't show
When we're wearin' our church clothes

[Outro: Both]
Ooh
