Caedmon's Call - God's Hometown lyrics

She spent her days Never breaking her gaze on his face She knew every line She whispered to him But only to make him give chase It worked every time He was the one when it came To the son that they saw And he showed 'em how They called him Earnest His wife called her mother-in-law Asked her, "What now?" Living in God's hometown I'm standing here in my wedding gown Living in God's hometown So with everyone watching She stole all the clocks from the walls And charged for the time But what could she do She's just telling the truth after all And that's not a crime When Earnest comes knocking She jumps in the closet And stays just outta sight And it's there she confesses Surrounded by dresses That make her feel alright about Living in God's hometown I'm standing here in my wedding gown Living in God's hometown Both of them guilty Of the same crime, same crime Only believing it would save them, oh Living in God's hometown Standing here in my wedding gown Living in God's hometown
