It was early Sunday morning Everyone in the house was still asleep She made some toast and coffee Took a shower and made herself smell sweet She said, "I don't want a bus ride I believe that the walk might help me think Got a heart kind of heavy I need some big hat and gloves, shoes and bag religion" Religion, that's my decision Some of that make me feel better When I shout religion That's my decision Papa Henry was full of spice He was a man usually nice But something got into him last night Made him want to fuss and holler The entire house was in a sweat His bottle got broken and the floor got wet "Clean it up!" you could hear him scream Then he said, "I'm going out, I need religion" Religion, that's my decision Some of that raise up the roof, 90 proof Religion, that's my decision Religion, it's my decision Oh, yes, it is, that's my decision It's the story about a good family Who doesn't live anymore in good harmony They are people who love their daughter and son They try to give them religion Little Billy likes his best friend Jack How in the world could he be like that Mama and Henry wanna have that chat Boy, you need religion Little Betty, whatcha gonna do? There's a child growing inside of you You should've stopped and thought things through Little girl you need a vision of religion Religion and that's my decision Some of that how'd I get on Rikki Lake? Religion, that's my decision, religion Get a little religion Get a little religion
