about

Music and lyrics by Jonathan Byrd and Luke Dick. A song about what Telisha Williams calls "home church."

lyrics

It's eight o'clock and the neighbors are knockin'
to give us a ride to church.
If we lay quiet, maybe they'll buy it.
I think this plan could work.
I hear 'em leavin, get under the sheets and
celebrate good news!
The best way to spend Sunday's loving you.

Baking the biscuits and making the fixin's
in your birthday suit.
Frying up bacon you might wear an apron.
It's the safest thing to do.
If you want coffee, get your hands off me.
Honey, one lump or two?
The best way to spend Sunday's loving you.

Hear the church bells ringing.
The sun shines down from up above.
I hear the choir singing,
"Hallelujah, God is love."

It's five to eleven, and I'm in heaven
with you at home alone.
Let's get to the neighbor's and pick some tomatoes
before they get back home.
We'll make it out of town with a blanket on the ground
by the time the preachin's through.
The best way to spend Sunday's loving you.
