I woke up early with a pounding in my head

I'd been out the night before with all my friends

A little worried, kinda wondering what I did

I said, Lord please forgive me for my sins

My wife wanted to kill me but she tried to save me first

You're goin' if I have to drag your butt to church
D G D G
I love this crazy tragic, sometimes almost magic
D G A/E D
Awful, beautiful life
D G D G
I read the hymns and kinda sorta sang along
D G D G
Made it through the Sunday sermon wide awake
D G D G
We met the family for dinner at our home
D G D
Drank some beer, watched the game and cooked some steak

My little brother had a big fight with his wife

And our poor mother sat between em both all night

The ups and downs and crazy turns along the way
