Chorus:
Excuses, more excuses, we hear them oh so much
as people try to justify why they are not in church.
If they love God, it's rather odd that they should get so nervous
as they explain, when asked again, why they missed Sunday service.

Now on Sunday morning the battery is weak and the old car just won't run
But pleasure riding on Sunday afternoon is oh, so much fun
Then you get back that afternoon too tired to go to church
But you push the old car off, buddy, in time to get to work

Some will say they overslept and the clock did not alarm
Some will explain arthritis pain that crippled both of their arms
Some will cough, hem and haw, trying to think of a reason
But for them the real truth is: it's not church-going season

Chorus

You know a woman came to church just once and brought her baby with her
But boy when she left church that Sunday, she was really in a dither
The Pastor went to her house, her reason just to hear
She said, "I put my baby in your nursery and another one bit its ear."

Another lady came to church just once and boy, she never did return
The pastor made a call on her, her reason he might learn
Why she gave the preacher her excuse with a cold and frosty breath
"With the air conditioning in your church, I nearly froze to death."

Chorus
This song is from the album "Live At The University Of Alabama".
