5 Sunday Morning And Saturday Night lyrics

My ol` man was a contradiction
A real hard man to figure
He`d read the King James Bible
While sippin` on corn liquor
He`d get drunk, and he`d get to preachin`
Right out on the porch
Alternatin` between cussin` and a prayin`
Spittin` and a praisin` the Lord

No doubt about it
He was a man of both extremes
He had his share of demons
But on Jesus he would lean

CHORUS:
HE`D SAY, `FLY HIGH LIKE THE ANGELS
RUN WILD LIKE THE DEVIL
WE`RE ALL TRYIN` TO FIND THE MIDDLE
BETWEEN SAINT AND SINNER, WRONG AND RIGHT
SUNDAY MORNING AND SATURDAY NIGHT.`

Well, I have sung `Amazing Grace,` hymnal in my hand
Played `Stairway To Heaven` in a three piece pick up band
I know the straight and narrow is the path that I should take
But out here in the fast lane, you tend to get a little sideways

I still hear him preachin`
Slurrin` his words a bit
Sayin` the thing about temptation
Is it`s so hard to resist

REPEAT CHORUS

Back then I didn`t realize
The wisdom in the sermon
It took a while to understand
The lesson I`m still learnin`

REPEAT CHORUS

Saint and sinner, wrong and right
Sunday morning and Saturday night

He said, `Fly high like the angels.`
