Volume Five – Losing My Religion Lyrics
Artist: Volume Five
Song: Losing My Religion
I was taught the straight and narrow way, I walked it my whole life
Married young and had a son and stood fast in the right
Was a hellfire-and-brimstone preacher down in Collinsville
When the devil came to visit me in the deep Virginia hills
Standin’ in the pulpit preachin’ love and Godly kindness
When the boy fell ill in Blacksburg and the doctors failed to find it
The ladies came with all their love and the deacons prayed in likeness
But to no avail the gates of hell slowly fell upon us
I laid my boy in a six-foot hole and cursеd God every moment
As thе wife and I said goodbye and longed once more to hold him
I prayed for God to change His mind, but He made no provision
Standin’ in the church graveyard losin’ my religion
People ask from time to time if I’ve found my redemption
Well I’ll be frank and won’t mince words when sayin’ my conviction
Now I know folks they sure mean well but there’s no use in wishin’
I have no guilt for leavin’ God; will I be forgiven?
I laid my boy in a six-foot hole and cursed God every moment
As the wife and I said goodbye and longed once more to hold him
I begged for God to change His mind, but He made no provision
Standin’ in the church graveyard losin’ my religion
