Church on Sunday, learn the golden rule
Well the Devil he might get you before he gets through
Might get you before he gets through
Small Town Hero, baseball team
Loud mouth know-it-all, never says a thing
Tries to get sdome lovin' with his high school ring
Tries to get it with his high school ring
He's always talkin' 'bout
The things he's gonna do
Goes round breakin' little guys in two
SOmebody bound to get him before he gets through
Bound to get him before he gets through
CHeerleaders, cheerleader, yell yell yell
Rah rah rah, you got nothing to tell
Always in your seat before they ring that bell
Well, that bell it don't ring no more
Mommy, mommy, what went wrong?
Too late for questions now, you're on your own
Mommy's broke down and your daddy's gone
They just couldn't make it work no more.
High-school, high-school, college, too
CHurch on Sunday, learn the golden rule
Well the Devil he might get you before he gets through
Might get you before he gets through
