Running Off The Angels

I quit church and never went back

Sang my last red-covered hymn

Soon as I was gone, the choir said

Amen

I was blind, but now I see

The judgment that was passed on me

Lord, have mercy, set me free

Amen

Hallelujah, I've been saved

I paid my dues in the back pew and fell from grace

Heaven help us, the devil ain't in hell

He's running all the angels out of the Bible Belt

He wrote my scarlet letter down

Preached it to the whole damn town

Dug my grave, cast me out

Yeah, and then he said

"Fold your hands, close your legs

Shut your mouth and bow your head"

Call me a lost cause, I'm better off gone

Amen

Hallelujah, I've been saved

I paid my dues in the back pew and fell from grace

Heaven help us, the devil ain't in hell

He's running all the angels out of the Bible Belt

What can wash away my sin?

Nothing but the blood

Oh, what can make me whole again?

Nothing but the blood

Hallelujah, I've been saved

I paid my dues in the back pew and fell from grace

Heaven help us, the devil ain't in hell

He's running all the angels out of the Bible Belt

He's running all the angels out of the Bible Belt

He's running all the angels out of the Bible Belt, ooh, oh

Ooh, ooh
