Album: Second Pew On The Left

Takin' a trip down memory lane to the place where I was born
To a little white church in the middle of town on a wintry Sunday morn
What I saw that day in January as I strolled into the sanctuary
Gave me such a fright what a horrible sight that it chilled me to the bone

Chorus 1:
I made my way up the hardwood aisle to the second pew on the left
When to my surprise, couldn't believe my eyes, dear Lord there's been a theft
A little old lady in a big blue hat parked in the spot where I always sat
She crossed the line to the seat that's mine in the second pew on the left

Ever since that terrible day I prayed, 'Lord, take this pain away'
And forgive the little lady in the big blue hat for her wicked sinful ways
And Lord, when the angel knocks on my door to take me home to my reward
Can I make a plea will you humor me when you welcome me on that day

Chorus 2:
When I make my way through the pearly gates to the second pew on the left
With the angels singin' heaven's bells a'ringin' don't let there be a theft
No little lady in a big blue hat sittin' in the spot where I shoulda sat
Let me cross the line to the seat that's mine in the second pew on the left

Repeat Chorus 2

No little lady in a big blue hat
Sittin' with her friends in eternal chit chat
Let me cross the line to the seat that's mine in the second pew on the left
Lord will you put a sign on the seat that's mine in the second pew on the left
