Reformed Baptist Blues - The Tragically Hip

Comely woman why you treating me this way?

Got religion instead of loving now you’re praying

(got religion instead of loving on your brain)

You know i know i was everything you need

Traded good times for a reverend’s guarantees

I ain’t no preaching man don’t know what to do

I got those slowly sinking reformed baptist blues

Now you wake me when i should be sleeping in

Drag me out to your place of worshipping

Missed the football now for six weeks in a row

It’s depressing to this man from golden door

(it's depressing yeah but damn i’m going to go)

Absolution is a bummer i have found

Re-baptism is just another way to drown

God’s salvation doesn’t interest me at all

Found the answer at the bottom of a bottle

Now you curse me every time i tell a lie

Trade my gold chains for starched black pants and ties

Can’t beseech you that our marriage is a fraud

Can’t get screwed around when the other guy is god
