Song Lyrics

"Temptation Boogie"

by Carman
Album: Sunday's On The Way

Well I woke up Monday morning
My head all full of nothin'
I walked down to McDonalds
To get me a Egg McMuffin
Still half asleep waitin' in line 'round 7:23
When this loud mouth pushy business man
Cut in front of me
My eyes went cold, I clenched my fist
I wanted to thump him good

But somethin' held me back inside
And I saw how it stood
The Holy Ghost reminded me
I represent the Lord
And it would be hard to witness to him
Stretched out on the floor

You see some people say "let it out"
And other people say "hold it in"
But Jesus says to crucify it
For that thing there is sin

[CHORUS]
Well I was fightin' with temptation
I was duelin' with that thing
Bondage and trouble
Is all that it will bring
What's that soul to do when he's face-to-face with sin'
You pray not once but twice
Put on the Mind of Christ
And get that sweet ol' victory again

Well I grabbed my Superman beach towel
And QT Tanning lotion
I thought I'd take a cruise
And catch some rays down by the ocean

I had it all planned out
To roast some burgers and some weenies
When I arrived everything but the telephone poles
Was dressed up in bikinis

My flesh and spirit had a race
And Satan went full throttle
What those women wore
Man, I seen more cotton in an Aspirin bottle

Well I knew there's just one way
To please the Lord and still get tan
But I felt so stupid with my big ol' head stuck in the sand

See some people say "let it out"
And other people say "Mmmm!"
But Jesus says to crucify it
For that thing there is sin

[CHORUS]
