Well I threw myself a party
   It was just the other day
   Well my wife wasn't there
   But my old buddies were
   Cause somebody was going away
  
   Well I've lived in this town for a lifetime
   And I've sinned from beginning to Z
   And the preacher at our congregation
   He knew just how to get into me
  
   Well he'd stand there so high on his pulpit
   And I knew when he talked of my soul
   But that preacher he died there with all of my lies
   And my sins went with him when they put him in the hole
   My sins went with him when they put him in the hole
   Well bless my heart let the good times roll
   My sins went with him when they put him in the hole
  
   Well he drove a Ford Fiesta
   What the hell kinda car is that
   Well he'd drive around here tryin to flush out a queer
   Or the man that ran over his cat
  
   But his heart couldn't take all the pressure
   Tryin to find out what I already know
   And my face has gone pious to cheshire
   Cause my sins went with him when they put him in the hole
   My sins went with him when they put him in the hole
   Well bless my heart let the good times roll
   Cause my sins went with him when they put him in the hole
  
   Well the new preacher he is a young man
   And he don't speak as much from the book
   And my wife doesn't like that about him
   But he makes up for that with his looks
   So she stares up at him every Sunday
   And in her eyes I can see all the lust
   But I guess that I can't be complaining
   Cause it was me that has broken our trust
  
   So I hope she lives long or gets lucky
   And he passes before she gets old
   Then he won't have to worry 'bout nothin
   Cause her sins will go with him when they put him in a hole
   Her sins will go with him when they put him in the hole
   Well bluess her heart let the good times roll
   Cause her sins will go with him when they put him in the hole
   Well bless our hearts let the good times roll
   Cause our sins will go with him when they put him in the hole
  
   Our sins will go with him when they put him in the hole
   Our sins will go with him when they put him in the hole
   Our sins will go with him when they put him in the hole
