That Jailhouse Religion

V6

Swing, low! Sweet grayhound! Pull my number, cut these godforsaken chords! Swing low! Take me home! Some glad mornin to Ohio's muddy shore! God, I'm ready! Take me back into the world. I got that Jailhouse Religion! Lookin toward that pearly gate Livin for that outdate. I need that Jailhouse Religion! Need a faith in what's beyond This little world behind the bars! Said, Jesus! Save me from this prison! I got that Jailhouse Religion. No more tears, shed alone! At the family table, where the sinners dine! No more plain, khaki robes! No more handouts like a grown ass fuckin child! God, this easy life gets old after a while. I got that jailhouse religion! Lookin toward that pearly gate Livin for that outdate. I need that Jailhouse Religion! Need a faith in what's beyond This little world behind the bars! Said, Jesus! Save me from this prison! I got that Jailhouse Religion. Someday! I'm goin! To that city back where I was born and raised! Streets paved, in pavement! Where the sunset calls the angels out to play! God, I just can't serve another lonely day! I got that Jailhouse Religion! Lookin toward that pearly gate Livin for that outdate. I need that jailhouse religion! Need a faith in what's beyond This little world behind the bars! Said, Jesus! Save me from this prison! I got that Jailhouse Religion. [Band breakdown] [tempo slows] Said, I got that Jailhouse Religion.
