Nothing Sacred
by David Allan Coe
From the album Nothing Sacred
GQuitting work early, Jimmy went home,
But Che never knocked on the Gdoor.
CCatching his wife in Ganother man's arms,
AActing like some stupid Dwhore.
GHe picked up his pride and took it outside.
He Cjust had to have him a Gdrink.
With his Chand on his pistol he Gwalked in a bar
And that's when he Dstarted to Gthink
This life is turning from better to worse,
The Cwhole damn world's crazy he Gswore.
What the hell's happening, Jesus CChrist?
Ain't there nothing sacred no Gmore?
(chorus)GAin't there nothing sacred no more, lord, ain't Cthere nothing sacred no Gmore?
What the hell's happening, Jesus CChrist?  Ain't there nothing sacred no Gmore.
Seeking repentence, 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,
She finally confessed to the crime.
Then you could see how they believed she wasn't out of her mind.
What kind of preacher could stoop low enough
To make love to some common whore?
What the hell's happening, Jesus Christ?
Ain't there nothing sacred no more?
(repeat chorus 2x)

To make love to some common whore?

What the hell's happening, Jesus Christ?

Ain't there nothing sacred no more?
