[Verse 1]
Don't look for me on Sunday morning
I'll not darken the door
Of the churches where the word is
Said to be perfect and pure
They're quotin' Bibles, denouncing idles
Claiming no questions left
They'd be closer to the truth
If they'd only pay attention to the words
Written in red
[Chorus]
Oh, the words written in red
They're the words the wise man said
I steer clear of confusion that people tend to get
'Cause I only pay attention to the words written in red
[Verse 2]
And I'm not sayin' that I'm worth savin'
I'm hardly a man of God
And I've heard spirits speakin' clearly
Oath in services and bars
It's come from prophets and come from preachers
And drunkards hangin' their heads
But everywhere I've found it
It's only 'cause it sounds like an echo of the words in red
[Chorus]
Oh, the words written in red
They're the words the wise man said
I steer clear of confusion that people tend to get
'Cause I only pay attention to the words written in red
[Verse 3]
Well, we all find our comfort somewhere
Maybe a bottle or a pill
Some find solace in the Bible
And others find it wandering in the hills
I've got trials and I've got troubles
Comin' in this world and the next
I don't want clergy, I don't want whiskey
Tonight I want the words in red
[Chorus]
Oh, the words written in red
They're the words the wise man said
I steer clear of confusion that people tend to get
'Cause I only pay attention to the words written in red
I only pay attention to the words written in red
Don't look for me on Sunday morning
I'll not darken the door
Of the churches where the word is
Said to be perfect and pure
They're quotin' Bibles, denouncing idles
Claiming no questions left
They'd be closer to the truth
If they'd only pay attention to the words
Written in red
[Chorus]
Oh, the words written in red
They're the words the wise man said
I steer clear of confusion that people tend to get
'Cause I only pay attention to the words written in red
[Verse 2]
And I'm not sayin' that I'm worth savin'
I'm hardly a man of God
And I've heard spirits speakin' clearly
Oath in services and bars
It's come from prophets and come from preachers
And drunkards hangin' their heads
But everywhere I've found it
It's only 'cause it sounds like an echo of the words in red
[Chorus]
Oh, the words written in red
They're the words the wise man said
I steer clear of confusion that people tend to get
'Cause I only pay attention to the words written in red
[Verse 3]
Well, we all find our comfort somewhere
Maybe a bottle or a pill
Some find solace in the Bible
And others find it wandering in the hills
I've got trials and I've got troubles
Comin' in this world and the next
I don't want clergy, I don't want whiskey
Tonight I want the words in red
[Chorus]
Oh, the words written in red
They're the words the wise man said
I steer clear of confusion that people tend to get
'Cause I only pay attention to the words written in red
I only pay attention to the words written in red
