I’m in a lonely room,
Hank Williams sings the Lovesick Blues,
Winter’s walking up the avenue
And I ain’t seen the sunshine since the 6th of June
But I tell you this
[Chorus:]
Don’t call the doctor, I’m gonna get better
Don’t run for the priest, I’m gonna find some faith
Just because I burned my Bible, baby,
It don’t mean I’m too sick to pray
I’m in a crowded place
But I can’t recognize a single face,
They say the thrill is in the chase
Well I ain’t got the legs, ain’t got the legs
To run that race
But I tell you this
[Chorus]
You’d better burn a candle bright
Raise up some ghosts tonight
They say I made my money messing up young minds,
I stooped the congregation and left them crying
In the rain, yeah, left them with their pain,
Exit your boy with his ill-gotten gains
Well the blood runs deep and the blood runs cold
As the knife slits so another sucker is born
And thrown into this world alone
The doctor came knocking,
Wasn’t nobody home
Ease the pain..
[Chorus:]
Don’t call the doctor, I’m gonna get better
Don’t run for the priest, I’m gonna find some faith
Just because I burned my Bible, baby,
It don’t mean I’m too sick to pray
Don’t call the doctor, I’m gonna get better
Don’t run for the priest, I’m gonna find some faith
Just because I burned my Bible, baby,
It don’t mean, it don’t mean
I’m too sick to pray
I’m too sick to pray,
I’m gonna burn a candle bright
I’m too sick to pray, I’m too sick to pray
It don’t mean, I’m too sick to pray
