"Dirty Church Clothes" lyrics

"Dirty Church Clothes"

My Levi jacket has seen better days
Ain't here to get it, just give out the praise
My jeans are holey and my Bible is torn
But you know where I'll be come Sunday morn

I comb my hair with a Saturday grease
I'm just thankful to have shoes on my feet
I'm missing buttons on this hand-me-down shirt
It ain't the style, but I'll make it work

'Cause it's hallelujah, I ain't strikin' no pose
Came to wash my soul clean in some dirty church clothes
It's hallelujah, roll Jordan roll
Came to wash my soul clean in some dirty church clothes
All right!

Now I'm catchin' looks when they're passin' the plate
Uh, worse than things they'd never say to my face
I know they want me in a black suit and tie
They can dress me how they want on the day that I die

'Cause it's hallelujah, I ain't strikin' no pose
Came to wash my soul clean in some dirty church clothes
It's hallelujah, roll Jordan roll
Came to wash my soul clean in some dirty church clothes
Wash my soul clean in some dirty church clothes
All right!

One of these days, all will be forgiven
Walkin' streets of gold in some fresh white linen
One of these days, all will be forgiven
I'll be walkin' streets of gold in some fresh white linen

'Cause it's hallelujah, I ain't strikin' no pose
I came to wash my soul clean in some dirty church clothes
It's hallelujah, roll Jordan roll
Came to wash my soul clean in some dirty church clothes
Wash my soul clean in some dirty church clothes
Wash my soul clean in these dirty church clothes
Lord, wash my soul in some dirty church clothes

Hmm, I hear you talking (in order to persuade you...)
Sister Patty leaned over to Paul
Said can't believe he even showed up at all
I saw his mama, do you think he brought her?
Better keep that filthy boy away from our daughter
Came in like a stray dog, must be lost
