Hugo - Old Tyme Religion Lyrics






Brother let me tell ya, there's some trouble ahead.
The first moment I saw her, I knew the way to heaven's in her bed.
A quiet voice inside me, I didn't pay no mind.
A little taste of the forbidden, so sweet it made me deaf and blind.
I know who to let go, let go
I know who to let go

Caught by a jealous guy, my best friend, I can't deny.
Waiting on that old tyme (religion), old tyme religion.
Caught by a bullet this time, roll my eyes up to the sky.
Waiting on that old tyme (religion), old tyme religion.
Begging that I'll be forgiven.

I'm not an angry man, I'm just a lonely soul.
If I coulda had a million, for every little hungry heart I stole.
Motherf*cker laid me out, cold as pavement stone.
I guess he must've really love her, left me here now I'm bleeding on my own
I know who to let go, let go
I know who to let go

Caught by a jealous guy, my best friend, I can't deny.
Waiting on that old tyme (religion), old tyme religion.
Caught by a bullet this time, roll my eyes up to the sky.
Waiting on that old tyme (religion), old tyme religion.
Begging that I'll be forgiven.

  1. p.... n....

    Can anyone explain what does "Old tyme religion" means in this song? How does it relate to the rest of the whole content of this song??? I've been curious for quite a long time.

    p.... n....

    p n he slept with his friend’s wife, so he got shot. Most likely asking god/seeking religion for salvation

    p.... n....

    it's a double entendre, his friend whos girl he slept with is implied to be waiting to marry her but it can also mean to have sex. it comes about by way of christian mythology usurping and overtaking the pagan religion that is thought to have a lot of worship through sexual communion. and of course, the term that is to be with someone in a 'biblical way'.

  2. D.... ....

    Reminds me of the Beatles

  3. N.... ....

    "Tyme" ในที่นี้มีความหมายว่าอะไรหรอครับ?

    N.... ....

    ความหมายเดียวกับ Time แค่เป็นการเล่นคำเฉยๆ

  4. C.... S....

    เพราะมากครับบบบบบบบบบ

  5. L.... D....

    isn't it "i knew the way to hell was in a bed?" Not sure. maybe it just sounds that way to me cuz i was the 'other guy' one of these

  6. T.... S....

    Hugo isn't just a country artist, he's a country, blues rock, bluegrass, cross over artist and there is some good country granted not much but artists like Toby, Trace, Rodney shouldn't be discredited just because of country pop cross over artists.

  7. J.... M....

    Wow. An original totally original sound. Pretty impressive yessiry.

  8. B.... ....

    The only hiphop about this song is that they didn't make this music theirselves, they took what they liked about Good Old Funky Music by the Meters and made this out of it :p

  9. d.... ....

    you're a fuckin dumbass who knows nothing of music..smh.

  10. M.... T....

    i thought he was black with all that soul in his voice LOVE HIM!!!!!!!! HE'S MY NEW OBESSION

  11. 1.... ....

    @m4tthoekstr4 hugo is like hiphop-country-soul mix

  12. m.... h....

    Today, country is truly horrendous!!! Country is merely a fashion accessory to displayed like one of those 'blinged out SUV's". But there is hope! Hugo brings us back to the days of Johnny Cash. The days when country was actually worth listening. While at the same time keeping it fresh.

  13. r.... ....

    it is so different, fresh and new. i've never heard this type of rhythm before, it is nice! i like it
