[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
Anna Jean, darling, don’t leave me on the count of my dreaming
Sometimes the dream's like a horseman on a mare in the night
Fumbling his way through the forest trying to find a road that’s true
Sometimes he wakes in a clearing in the cool morning light

[Chorus]
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
