except there is no chord change when going to verse 4
[Verse 1]
AWell, the church burned down and no one knew
What the DPentecost Baptists was gonna do
The ASunday brimstone got so dadgum hot
It Eburned up a church bus in the parkin' lot
In a Apanic the reverend Dr. White
DCalled up an ex-member than hadn't lived right
He Aowned Joe's beer joint right across the fence
It's the Esame Joe's he'd preached against
[Verse 2]
He said I Adon't really want to be a hypocrite
I got a DSunday school class that's about to s**t
We're all Aexcited about revival week
And Emoved by the spirit so to speak
With all the Asouls we saved and the money we spent
We Dthought God told us to sell that tent
I got a Afamous evangelist supposed to come
And done Erun out of chairs, will you loan us some?
[Verse 3]
Joe says Ahell you can just use the whole dang place
DA9 on the jukebox "Amazing Grace"
I ain't Asupposed to open because of them blue laws
But we'll Eopen tonight if it's alright with y'all
Preacher said Awell I reckon that'd be OK
The Dgood Lord works in mysterious ways
I was gonna Atalk about Joshua, Judges and Ruth
And I Ereckon I can do it from the DJ booth
[Chorus 1]
At the AFirst Baptist Bar and Grill
It's the Donly church in the bible belt that
Esmells like a whiskey still
When the Asinners finish one more round
DWe'll have dinner on the ground
And Ago inside and Ehell [pause]
pray we don't get Akilled
[Verse 4]
The AEvangelist came with a well-dressed choir
They Dshowed up around happy hour
ALooked around the joint and didn't take it real well
said the EWhite ministry has gone to hell
AMs. Mills that taught youth Sunday school
And two Ddeacons in the back room shootin' pool
Were Asharin' the Lord with a Jim Beam rep
Who was Eteachin' Ms. Mills some line dance steps
[Verse 5]
Reverend AWhite was readin' from the book of Luke
To a Dtall, drunk trucker about to puke
He had JAohn 3:16 memorized
Tryin' to Edry him out to get him baptised
The eAvangelist yelled about the lights and the beer
Said DWhite you can't save any souls in here
This Aplace ain't nothin' but a den of sin
Ain't the Ekind of place Baptists ought to be in
Preacher said Awell we don't really need y'all here
You Ddidn't do a very good job last year
Only Asaved one sinner, that's Todd McGuire
And he's the Elittle son of a b***h that set my church on fire
Joe's Abeer joint has done been revived
Only Dbeen here an hour and I done saved five.
ASure it's got mirrors and a big dance floor
But I Efinally found the flock God called me for.
[Chorus 2]
At the AFirst Baptist Bar and Grill
It's the Donly church in the bible belt
that Esmells like a whiskey still
Not a Astained glass window anywhere in site,
Just a Dblood-stained floor and neon lights,
And the Acommunion wine    E[PAUSE]
is always Achilled.
[Verse 6]
We're Ahere every Sunday;  We're livin' large;
We're the Donly church with a cover charge.
And if you Adon't like our doctrine
and think we ain't devout,   E[PAUSE]
We'll have our bouncer throw your butt out …
Of the AFirst Baptist DBar   Eand AGrill

except there is no chord change when going to verse 4

[Verse 1]

Well, the church burned down and no one knew

What the Pentecost Baptists was gonna do

The Sunday brimstone got so dadgum hot

It burned up a church bus in the parkin' lot

In a panic the reverend Dr. White

Called up an ex-member than hadn't lived right

He owned Joe's beer joint right across the fence

It's the same Joe's he'd preached against

[Verse 2]

He said I don't really want to be a hypocrite

I got a Sunday school class that's about to s**t

We're all excited about revival week

And moved by the spirit so to speak

With all the souls we saved and the money we spent

We thought God told us to sell that tent

I got a famous evangelist supposed to come

And done run out of chairs, will you loan us some?

[Verse 3]

Joe says hell you can just use the whole dang place

A9 on the jukebox "Amazing Grace"

I ain't supposed to open because of them blue laws

But we'll open tonight if it's alright with y'all

Preacher said well I reckon that'd be OK

The good Lord works in mysterious ways

I was gonna talk about Joshua, Judges and Ruth

And I reckon I can do it from the DJ booth

[Chorus 1]

At the First Baptist Bar and Grill

It's the only church in the bible belt that

smells like a whiskey still

When the sinners finish one more round

We'll have dinner on the ground

A E

And go inside and hell [pause]

pray we don't get killed

[Verse 4]

The Evangelist came with a well-dressed choir

They showed up around happy hour

Looked around the joint and didn't take it real well

said the White ministry has gone to hell

Ms. Mills that taught youth Sunday school

And two deacons in the back room shootin' pool

Were sharin' the Lord with a Jim Beam rep

Who was teachin' Ms. Mills some line dance steps

[Verse 5]

Reverend White was readin' from the book of Luke

To a tall, drunk trucker about to puke

He had John 3:16 memorized

Tryin' to dry him out to get him baptised

The evangelist yelled about the lights and the beer

Said White you can't save any souls in here

This place ain't nothin' but a den of sin

Ain't the kind of place Baptists ought to be in

Preacher said well we don't really need y'all here

You didn't do a very good job last year

Only saved one sinner, that's Todd McGuire

And he's the little son of a b***h that set my church on fire

Joe's beer joint has done been revived

Only been here an hour and I done saved five.

Sure it's got mirrors and a big dance floor

But I finally found the flock God called me for.

[Chorus 2]

At the First Baptist Bar and Grill

It's the only church in the bible belt

that smells like a whiskey still

Not a stained glass window anywhere in site,

Just a blood-stained floor and neon lights,

A E

And the communion wine [PAUSE]

is always chilled.

[Verse 6]

We're here every Sunday; We're livin' large;

We're the only church with a cover charge.

And if you don't like our doctrine

and think we ain't devout, [PAUSE]

We'll have our bouncer throw your butt out …
