David Allan Coe Nothin Sacred Lyrics

(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
