The Lapsed Evangelicals Song Book

[David Pettigrew]

reprinted from the "Thinkin of Drinkin" thread:

From "The Lapsed Evangelicals Southern Gospel Top 40"

This one is for you pastors:
Well, I woke up this Monday not feelin' fine;
I woke up with Sunday on my mind.
I woke up with dread in my soul;
Cause' I knew that the board had control.
Well I knew I was reelin' from the fight
Cause they'd had my review in the night
So I drove till I saw a neon sign,
And now, I'm feeling mighty fine.

Well I'm feeling mighty fine
Cause I'm drinking lots of wine
Don't you know I want to go
Where the beer and spirits flow?
There's a light that always shines
And it's saying "Miller Time"
I've got less brain cells in my mind,
But, oh, I'm feeling MIGHTY fine!


For a good medley, pair this with the following chorus:
Rolled away, rolled away
I've forgotten when my burdens rolled away.
Rolled away, rolled away,
It was somewhere after the second glass of Chardonnay.

Or, you might want to modulate into the key of D, and add:
I was sinking deep in sin - WHEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
