Back Pew

Lyrics

[Intro] Hallelujah [Verse 1] Showed up this morning 'cause I didn't know where else to go Needed a word with the Father, Son, Holy Ghost When I stepped in the lobby, the pastor, he stopped me Said, "Lily, where have you been? It's been a month or so" [Pre-Chorus] I told him I've been home Tryna get through some goodbye tears And you don't even know The Hell it took to get me here [Chorus] Might've been fifteen minutes late Might've missed half of the worship But at least I showed my face And showin' up here's the first step I've been through heartbreak hell And my whole row can tell 'Cause I still smell like last night's booze But I got a last ditch prayer For the man upstairs Oh Lord, would you help me through Even if I'm in the back pew? [Verse 2] Sat in my car through the first couple services Took a drag just to calm down the nervousness I turned down the music, told myself, just do it Threw up a Hail Mary instead of cursin' him [Pre-Chorus] I finally caught my breath For the first time in way too long I know I ain't there yet But the light in the tunnel turned on [Chorus] Might've been fifteen minutes late Might've missed half of the worship But at least I showed my face And showin' up here's the first step I've been through heartbreak hell And my whole row can tell 'Cause I still smell like last night's booze But I got a last ditch prayer For the man upstairs Oh Lord, would you help me through Even if I'm in the back pew? [Bridge] I'm singin', Hallelujah I hope it's comin' in clear (I hope it's comin' in clear) I'm singin', Hallelujah From all the way back here [Chorus] Even though I was fifteen minutes late And I missed half of the worship But at least I showed my face And showin' up here's the first step I've been through heartbreak hell And my whole row can tell 'Cause I still smell like last night's booze But I got a last ditch prayer For the man upstairs Oh Lord, would you help me through Even if I'm in the back pew? [Outro] Hallelujah
