Southern Baptist Heartbreak Lyrics - Warren Brothers

Too much makeup for a Sunday 

Virginia Wilson, you oughta be ashamed 

Somewhere in the second verse of, 'Have Thine Own Way' 

She left an empty pew, she said, "I think that's what I'll do" 

And now she's singing hallelujah on a Saturday night 

She's stepping out looking for the other life 

Press-on nails and a run in her hose 

Goin' downtown, down she goes 

And she don't care if it's a big mistake 

She needs a whole lot more than Amazing Grace 

She's running from that Southern Baptist Heartbreak 

"She must be easy," that's what they say 

Her skirt's too short for the PTA 

But good girls don't smoke and when they kneel, they pray 

But she had enough of that come on, back-stabbing, back-sliding love 

Now she's singing hallelujah on a Saturday night 

She's stepping out looking for the other life 

Press-on nails and a run in her hose 

Goin' downtown, down she goes 

And she don't care if it's a big mistake 

She needs a whole lot more than Amazing Grace 

She's running from that Southern Baptist Heartbreak 

Sweet Virginia, where have you gone? 

Everybody misses you 

'Cause there's no one left to catch the stones 

Singing hallelujah on a Saturday night 

Stepping out, looking for the other life 

Press-on nails and a run in her hose 

Goin downtown, down she goes 

She don't care if it's a big mistake 

She needs a whole lot more than Amazing Grace 

She's running from that Southern Baptist 

Passin' on that peace that passeth 

And livin' out a Southern Baptist Heartbreak
