lyrics

God's putting up his dukes
He wants to go a couple rounds
He says the stories you've been writing
Well, they are full of doubt
God's putting up his dukes
He's calling me out

My mother says my lack of faith
Will be what does me in
Saying sinners never prosper, boy
You've got no chance to win
My mother says my lack of faith
Will be my undoing

If the creator puts me on my back
And sends me home to him
Well, I will protest all the way
I'll be a-kicking and screaming
If the creator puts me on my back
Well, I suppose that means he wins

But if that table turns the other way
And I do that what's unthinking
Will my mother have a thing to say?
Or will she just start drinking?
If that table turns the other way
I swear you'll never hear the end

And if the mouth of hell opens wide
Because I sing this song
Well, I'm taking all of you with me
Cause I know you're humming along
If the mouth of hell opens wide
I still claim I've done no wrong

And if I can't respond to the count of ten
If it's win, lose, or draw
Well, at least I'll know I've fought my fight
Keep my head high, stand tall
If I can't respond to the count of ten
Say I love you to my mom
