Nothin Sacred Lyrics

Artist: David Allan Coe
Album: Nothing Sacred

(sung)
Amazing grace
How sweet the sound

(electric guitar)

(spoken)
what the hell?
who the hell is that?
God damned hippies!
Unplug that god damn guitar there Martha!

(sung)
Quitting work early Jimmy went home
Well he never knocked on the door
Catching his wife in another mans arms
Acting like some two bit whore

He picked up his pride and took it outside
Just had to have him a drink
With his hand on his pistol he walked in a bar
And thats when he started to think

This life is turning from better to worse
The whole damn worlds crazy he swore
What the hells happening Jesus Christ
Ain't there nothing sacred no more

Ain't there nothing sacred no more
Lord, ain't there nothing sacred no more
What the hells happening Jesus Christ
Ain't there nothing sacred no more

Seeking repentance she went to the church
Expression was good for the soul
The preacher undressed her and then he blessed her
by putting his faith in her hole

Two hours later feeling the guilt
He finally confessed to the crime
Then you can see how'd they believe
She wasn't out of her mind

Now what kind of Preacher could stoop low enough
To making love to some common whore
What the hells happening Jesus Christ
Ain't there nothing sacred no more

Ain't there nothing sacred no more
Lord, ain't there nothing sacred no more
What the hells happening Jesus Christ
Ain't there nothing sacred no more

Ain't there nothing sacred no more
Lord, ain't there nothing sacred no more
What the hells happening Jesus Christ

(spoken over guitar)
And I'd like to talk to you today about time
Every body has time
You say you've got time for outlaw group sex
You've got time of have gun will travel
But do you have time for Jesus

(raised voice)
I say...there ought to be a law against rock and roll

(YELLED)
Wheres that coming from...how'd it get in here
Lord have mercy, ain't there nothing sacred any more
Jesus, Jesus said....god damn it unplug that fucking noise
I'm in here trying to tell people about Jesus
But all the god damn noise is going on in here
Ain't there nothing sacred any more
