[Verse 1]
There's a girl in Shelbyville, gave her life to Jesus
First Antioch Baptist Church, where her dad preaches
She's pretty as her mama and she's only 23
And she could be an angel, 'cause she's bringing out the devil in me

[Chorus]
Lord, forgive me for what I'm thinking
'Cause it's Saturday night, I'm high and I've been drinking
But come tomorrow morning across the aisle
I'll look over and see her smile
Bow my head and the choir sings
And Lord, forgive me, she's bringing out the devil in me

[Verse 2]
Sun dress on a willow tree, moves on the water
I know the Lord's been good to me, look at that preacher's daughter
She's my Delilah, she brings me to my knees
And she could be an angel 'cause she's bringing out the devil in me

[Chorus]
And, Lord, forgive me for what I'm thinking
Oh, but it's a Saturday night, I'm high and I've been drinking
Come tomorrow morning across the aisle
I'll look over and see her smile
I'll bow my head and the choir sings, good Lord, it seems
Lord, forgive me, she's bringing out the devil in me
Lord, forgive me for what I'm thinking
Oh, 'cause it's Saturday night, I'm high and I've been drinking
But come tomorrow morning across the aisle
I'll look over and see her smile
Bow my head and the choir sings, good Lord, it seems
Lord, forgive me, she's bringing out the devil in me

[Outro]
Lord, forgive me, she's bringing out the devil in me
