(Lyle Lovett)I went to church last SundaySo I could sing and prayBut something quite unusualHappened on that dayNow church it started right on timeJust like it does without a doubtAnd everything was all just fineExcept when it came time to let us outYou know the preacher he kept preachingHe told us I have one more thing to sayChildren before you think of leavingYou better think about the Judgment DayNow everyone got nervousBecause everyone was hungry tooAnd everyone was wonderingWhat was the next thing he would doAnd the preacher he kept preachingHe said now I'll remind you if I mayYou all better pay attentionOr I might decide to preach all dayAnd now everyone was getting so hungryThat the old ones started feeling illAnd the weak ones started passing outAnd the young ones they could not sit stillAnd the preacher's voice rose higherSo I snuck up on the balconyAnd I crept into the choirAnd I begged them brothers, sisters, help me pleaseI said when I give you a signalI said when I raise up my handWon't you please join with me togetherAnd praise the Lord I have a planAnd the preacher he kept preachingLong is the struggle, hard the fightAnd I prayed, Father please forgive meAnd then I stood up and with all my mightI sangTo the Lord let praises beIt's time for dinner now let's go eatWe've got some beans and some good cornbreadAnd I listened to what the preacher saidNow it's to the Lord let praised beIt's time for dinner now let's go eatYes and I did give a signalYes and I raised up my handsAnd then joined with
