text: Well he could almost taste the money
  But he was sitting in a den of thieves
  Looking for the great awakening
  Trying to find a way to leave
  But thats when he got religion
  And the light went on inside
  He said somebody up there likes me
  Now hes working for the holy guide
  He got drunk but he dont remember
  That hed been drinking in a bar downtown
  When he thought he heard a choir of angels
  Singing in the Tiki Lounge
  And thats when he got religion
  From no salesman on TV
  Just a tap on the shoulder in the parking lot
  He still drinks but he does believe
  Religion
  Oh, you do the best you can
  We all make the same mistakes
  Were gonna wind up with the man
  Religion
  Oh, you do the best you can
  We all make the same mistakes
  Were gonna wind up with the man
  Well, she was silent as he paid her
  But the thanks she got was next to none
  And as her car pulled out of the motel
  She felt the presence of someone
  And thats when she got religion
  In the front of a compact Ford
  Just a gentle voice on the stereo 
  Now shes a working girl who loves the lord
  Religion
  Oh, you do the best you can
  We all make the same mistakes
  Were gonna wind up with the man

  Mm-hm-hm
