Back Pew

(Hallelujah) Showed up this morning 'cause I didn't know where else to go Needed a word with the Father, Son, Holy Ghost When I stepped in the lobby, the pastor, he stopped me Said, "Lily, where you've been? It's been a month or so" I told him, "I've been home Tryna get through some goodbye tears" And you don't even know The Hell it took to get me here Might've been 15 minutes late Might've missed half of the worship But at least I showed my face And showin' up, here's the first step I've been through heartbreak hell And my whole row can tell 'Cause I still smell like last night's booze But I got a last ditch prayer For the man upstairs Oh Lord, would you help me through Even if I'm in the back pew? Sat in my car through the first couple services Took a drag just to calm down the nervousness I turned down the music, told myself, "Just do it" Threw up a Hail Mary instead of cursin' him I finally caught my breath For the first time in way too long I know I ain't there yet But the light in the tunnel turned on Might've been 15 minutes late Might've missed half of the worship But at least I showed my face And showin' up, here's the first step I've been through heartbreak hell And my whole row can tell 'Cause I still smell like last night's booze But I got a last ditch prayer For the man upstairs Oh Lord, would you help me through Even if I'm in the back pew? I'm singin', hallelujah I hope it's comin' in clear (I hope it's comin' in clear) I'm singin', hallelujah From all the way back here Even though I was 15 minutes late And I missed half of the worship But at least I showed my face And showin' up, here's the first step I've been through heartbreak hell And my whole row can tell 'Cause I still smell like last night's booze But I got a last ditch prayer For the man upstairs Oh Lord, would you help me through Even if I'm in the back pew? (Hallelujah)
