Lyrics

TAILGATING
Donna Dutchess, Chris Sligh

VERSE 1:
Ain't much going on in this one church town
Everybody's nose in everybody’s business going down
We got a preacher who got ordained for 50 bucks online
And everybody’s a good Baptist at least half the time
But when the sun’s shining he knows half his congregation
Is gonna end up down by the river … tailgating

CHORUS:
Trucks backed up, blankets spread out
Bluetooth speaker blaring, we’re passing the Crown around
There’s only so many weeks of summer and we’re working on a tan
Yeah, we all love Jesus, but I think He’d understand
We ain’t skipping church we’re just changing out locations
Getting baptized in blue skies, hell raising
And tailgating

VERSE 2:
Couple boys got their eye on that preacher’s daughter
But that girl’s got a promise ring that her daddy bought her
But it ain’t a small town without a little scandal
And she showed up Sunday morning sporting herself a handle
And shared it with half of her dad’s congregation
Yeah she was with us down by the river … tailgating

REPEAT CHORUS

BRIDGE:
I know the pastor and the deacons
Are bordering on appalled
But I swear that we’ll be back in that building by Fall
But till then we got our…

REPEAT CHORUS
