Yes it is my birthday today
My wife got me a chicken fried steak for my birthday
Well, I threw myself a party
Well, it was just the other day
Well, my wife wasn't there but
My old buddies were
'Cause somebody was goin' away
You see, I've lived in this town for a lifetime
And I've seen from beginning to 'z'
And the preacher at our congregation
He knew just how to get into me
Well, he'd stand there so high on his pulpit
And I knew when he talked of my soul
But that preacher he died there
With all of my lies
And my sins went with him when
They put him in the hole
My sins went with him when they
Put him in the hole
Bless my heart, let the good time roll
My sins went with him when they
Put him in the hole
Well, he drove a Ford Fiesta
What the hell kinda car is that?
Well, he'd drive around here tryin'
To flush out a queer or the man that ran over his cat
But his heart he couldn't take all the pressure
Trying to find what I already know
And my face has gone pious to Cheshire
'Cause my sins went with him when
They put him in the hole
My sins went with him when they
Put him in the hole
Bless my heart, let the good times roll
My sins went with him when they
Put him in the hole
Hallelujah
Well, the new preacher well he is a young man
And he don't speak as much from the good book
And my wife doesn't like that about him
But he makes up for that with his looks
So she stares up at him every Sunday
And in her eyes I can see all the lust
But I guess that I can't be complaining
'Cause it was me that has broken our trust
So I hope she lives long or gets lucky
And he passes before she gets old
Then she won't have to worry 'bout nothing
'Cause her sins will go with him when
They put him in the hole
Her sins will go with him when
They put him in the hole
Bless her heart, let the good times roll
Her sins will go with him when they put him in the hole
Bless our hearts, let the good times roll
Our sins will go with him when they put him in the hole
Our sins will go with us when they put him in the hole
Our sins will go with us when they put him in the hole
Our sins will go with us when they put him in the hole
