"She's Playing Hell Trying To Get Me To Heaven" lyrics

She's Playing Hell Trying To Get Me To Heaven

I let it all hang out last night
Come in hung over this morning
My woman met me at the door
Preaching me this warning

She said, "You're gonna have to change
Your sinful ways of living"
She's playing hell
Trying to get me to heaven

Well, I promised to go
To church with her
About a month of Sundays ago
And here it is
It's Sunday again
And I ain't been once in a row

And everytime that old
Church bell rings
You can hear my rod and reel singing
She's playing hell
Trying to get me to heaven

She's playing hell
Trying to get me to heaven
Cause there ain't no way
All my sins can be forgiven

There's only Ten Commandments
But I broke at least eleven
She's playing hell
Trying to get me to heaven

She went out and bought me
A Sunday go-meeting suit
And I must confess
It looked pretty sharp
With my old hunting boots

But I wore holes
In both the knees
Trying to roll them sevens
She's playing hell
Trying to get me to heaven

She's playing hell
Trying to get me to heaven
