Born in Mississippi, raised up in Tennessee Never wanna cross or mess with a man like me Friends like me 'cause I speak my mind Women love me 'cause I take my time Jump and shout 'cause Church Is Out Took my girl to church back down in my home town Preacher got excited and threw his Bible down He said "I been preachin' too long a time You get yours and I'll get mine." Jump and shout, 'cause Church Is Out
Now it ain't no harm if I feel like singin' the blues I done said my prayers and I'm done payin' my dues Live, let live, is my advice If you've got questions ask me nice Jump and shout, 'cause Church Is Out Women in the country hollerin', "Whoa, Hah, Gee" Women in town hollerin' who'll take me Gotta gal waitin' with dreamy eyes Feels like lightnin' when she smiles Jump and shout, 'cause Church Is Out
