[Chorus]
CCCG
Excuses, excuses, you'll hear them every day,
GGGC
now the Devil he'll supply them, if the church you stay away.
CCC7F
When people come to know the Lord, the Devil always loses,
FCGCC
so, to keep them folks away from church, he offers them excuses.
[Verse 1]
CCCG
In the summer it's too hot and in the winter it's too cold,
GGGC
in the springtime when the weather's just right, you find some place else to go.
CCC7F
Well, it's up to the mountains or down to the beach or to visit some old friend or
FCGCC
just stay home and kinda relax and hope that some of the kin folks will start dropping in.
[Verse 2]
CCCG
Well, a headache Sunday morning and a backache Sunday night,
GGGC
but by worktime Monday morning, you're feeling quite alright.
CCC7F
While one of the children has a cold, "Pneumonia, do you suppose?"
FCGCC
Why the whole family had to stay home, just to blow that poor kid's nose?
[Chorus]
CCCG
Excuses, excuses, you'll hear them every day,
GGGC
now the Devil he'll supply them, if the church you stay away.
CCC7F
When people come to know the Lord, the Devil always loses,
FCGCC
so, to keep them folks away from church, he offers them excuses.
[Verse 3]
CCCG
Well, the preacher he's too young and, maybe he's too old,
GGGC
those sermons they're not hard enough, sometimes they're too bold.
CCC7F
His voice is much too quiet-like, sometimes he gets too loud,
FCGCC
he needs to have more dignity or else he's way too proud.
[Verse 4]
CCCG
Well, the sermons they're too long and, maybe they're too short,
GGGC
he ought to preach the word with dignity instead of "stomp and snort."
CCC7F
Well, that preacher we've got must be "the world's most stuck up man."
FCGCC
Well, one of the lady's told me the other day, "Well, he didn't even shake my hand."
[End-Chorus]
CCCG
