the christ and the crook

Foy Vance

Anna Jean, darling, don t leave me
On the count of my drinking
Or the fact that I don t like the church
But still love the Lord
Please believe me, I know that Reverend
Twice as well as you do
And the church will be better
Long after I m gone

I ain t about to go looking for answers
In the body of Christ, it s riddled with cancer
If I wanna get to the truth I ll just get out the book
And if you have ears to hear then listen
And eyes to see all the lies you ve been missing
There s just as much truth in the Christ
As there is in the Crook

Anna Jean darling don t leave me
On the count of my dreaming
Sometimes the dreams like a horseman
On a mare in the night
Fumbling his way through the forest
Tryna find a road that s true
Sometimes he wakes in a clearing
In the cool morning light

So I ain t about to go looking for answers
In the body of Christ, it s riddled with cancer
If I wanna get to the truth I ll just get out the book
And if you have ears to hear then listen
And eyes to see all the lies you ve been missing
There s just as much truth in the Christ
As there is in the Crook

So Anna Jean, darling, don t leave me
