Well he could almost taste the money Well he could almost taste the money Ele podia quase sentir o gosto do dinheiro But he was sitting in a den of thieves But he was sitting in a den of thieves Mas estava sentado num covil de ladrões Looking for the great awakening Looking for the great awakening Procurando pelo grande despertar Trying to find a way to leave Trying to find a way to leave Tentando achar um jeito de ir embora But that's when he got religion But that's when he got religion Foi quando ele encontrou a religião And the light went on inside And the light went on inside E a luz o iluminou por dentro He said somebody up there likes me He said somebody up there likes me Ele disse alguém lá em cima gosta de mim Now he's working for the holy guide Now he's working for the holy guide Agora ele trabalha guiado pelo espírito santo He got drunk but he don't remember He got drunk but he don't remember Ele ficou bêbado,mas não se lembra That he'd been drinking in a bar downtown That he'd been drinking in a bar downtown Que andou bebando em um bar da cidade When he thought he heard a choir of angels When he thought he heard a choir of angels Quando ele pensou ouvir um coral de anjos Singing in the Tiki Lounge Singing in the Tiki Lounge Cantando na língua tiki And that's when he got religion And that's when he got religion Foi quando ele encontrou a religião From no salesman on TV From no salesman on TV E não foi de nenhum vendedor na tv Just a tap on the shoulder in the parking lot Just a tap on the shoulder in the parking lot Só um tapinha no ombro no estacionamento He still drinks but he does believe He still drinks but he does believe Ele ainda bebe,mas agora ele acredita Religion, you do the best you can Religion, you do the best you can Religião;faz-se o melhor que se pode We all make the same mistakes We all make the same mistakes Todos cometemos os mesmos erros We're gonna wind up with the man We're gonna wind up with the man Vamos todos prestar contas ao homem Religion, oh you do the best you can Religion, oh you do the best you can Religião;faz-se o melhor que se pode We all make the same mistakes We all make the same mistakes Todos cometemos os mesmos erros We're gonna wind up with the man We're gonna wind up with the man Vamos todos prestar contas ao homem She was silent as he paid her She was silent as he paid her Ela estava inquieta quando ele a pagou But the thanks she got was next to none But the thanks she got was next to none Mas o agradecimento que ela recebeu foi quase nenhum And as her car pulled out of the motel And as her car pulled out of the motel E quando o carro dela saiu do motel She felt the presence of someone She felt the presence of someone Ela sentiu a presença de alguém And that's when she got religion And that's when she got religion E foi aí que ela encontrou a religião In the front of a compact Ford In the front of a compact Ford Na frente do seu pequeno ford Just a gentle voice on the stereo Just a gentle voice on the stereo Uma voz gentil no rádio Now she's a working girl who loves the lord Now she's a working girl who loves the lord Agora ela é uma prostituta que ama o senhor
