[Verse 1]
I believe that gas is too damn high
Ain't nothing more American
Than Mama's apple pie
I believe in love, I believe in peace
But I don't believe we'll ever see it
In that Middle East
I believe the Bible is cold, hard fact
And I believe that Jesus is coming back
Before she does
I believe the Sabbath is a day of rest
The taxman and the Devil share the same address
I believe don't start if you're gonna quit
I believe in keep your mouth shut
And carry a big stick
I believe dogs are better than cats
And I believe that Jesus is coming back
Before she does

[Chorus]
There's absolutely, positively
No doubt in my mind
That OJ did it Lee Harvey didn't
And she's really gone this time

[Verse 2]
I believe that cold, cold beer
Tastes better on a bar stool
Than it does anywhere
I believe hard work really makes the man
But everyone should wet a line every now and then
I believe it's best to pay in cash
And I believe that Jesus is coming back
Before she does

[Chorus]
There's absolutely, positively
No doubt in my mind
That OJ did it Lee Harvey didn't
And she's really gone this time

[Bridge]
Yeah, I believe she was a real good thing
Can you believe I let a girl like her get away?
I believe she meant the night she packed
And said Jesus is coming back
Before she does

[Outro]
Before she does
Before she does
Yeah

Eric Church is an American country music singer-songwriter from Granite Falls, North Carolina. After graduating from Appalachian State University with a business degree in 2000, Eric became engaged to a Spanish teacher from Lenior, NC whose father attempted to deter his musical aspirations by offering him a corporate career in Denver. After turning down her father’s offer, Church’s ex-fiance broke the engagement, giving Church motivation to move to Nashville and begin focusing solely on his music. Recollections of this turning point in Church’s life are heard throughout his lyrical portfolio (most prominently in “Those I’ve Loved”).

After a period of being overlooked by record labels and producers, Church was eventually signed to Capitol Records in 2006, making his debut with the album, Sinners Like Me. The album produced four singles on the Billboard Country Chart, “How ‘Bout You,” “Two Pink Lines,” “Guys Like Me,” and the album’s title track.

His second album, 2009’s Carolina, produced three more “Smoke a Little Smoke,” “Love Your Love the Most,” and “Hell on the Heart.”
