Kelleigh Bannen - Church Clothes Lyrics






A pressed shirt, you tuck it in
You tie your tie, and tie it again
I put a little curl in my hair
Pink on my cheeks barely there

A proper skirt, hits at the knee
A good sweater in winter green
You shake the keys, downstairs
I hit the lights not a minute to spare

Slipped a five in the bible for the offering plate
What a beautiful picture we both made

You drive, I look out the window
It's not right but nobody said so
We walk in and head to the same pew
And hold hands, just like we're supposed to
But last night you slept on the sofa
And these days I don't even know ya
We fight like hell but nobody knows
When we're wearing our church clothes

We stand up we sing a hymn
We say a prayer for other friends
We're turning to the book of John
I'm thinking how I can't go on

But we smile and we give it our Sunday best
If we're lost couldn't tell by the way we dressed

You drive, I look out the window
It's not right but nobody said so
We walk in, I head to the bedroom
But you don't, you do what you want to
Like last week when you packed a suitcase
And came close to getting your own place
Oh that's the stuff that nobody knows
When we're wearing our church clothes

Oh we don't speak
Don't touch as if nobody's watching us
Lord knows we've got it down
What would they say if we gave up

You drive, I look out the window
It's not right but nobody said so
We walk in like we've never been so close
Miles apart but careful that it don't show
When we're wearing our church clothes

    Kelliegh, Just came across your podcast last week and listened to every one of the already. This is how I learned about this song and your other songs. I love this song. I don't quite understand why radio programmers had difficulty with it. Keep up the great work!!

  2. B.... B....

    so true...I like the song. Thanks.

  3. J.... P....

    💥 you got a great voice 🙏

  4. J.... E....

    First time I have seen this video. Love it. Beautiful on all ways.

  5. R.... V....

    Heard this on the highway about 3 weeks ago and have been looking for it ever since. So glad I found it.

  6. E.... B....

    Your song writing is amazing young lady. I love your happy birthday song as well. I can’t wait to see you live!!!! Amazing

  7. K.... U....

    you have really nice voice and songs

  8. T.... C....

    I can not believe this lady is not on the radio! Beautiful girl with a beautiful voice.

  9. V.... O....

    Got here from a Luke Bryan post I came across on the gram!! In one day I listened to this song at least 50x... I've also referred friends to go cop it!! Beautifully sung Kelleigh and the message is reflective of so many relationships and people's incessant need to keep up appearances!!!
    Love everything about this tune👌👌

  10. H.... B....

    I love this song!

  11. B.... S....

    Just heard you on xm radio and you were talking about bad feed back on this song. all I can say is that haters are going to hate. these are your roots and your fans will back you the whole way. keep up the good work.

  12. P.... D....

    As a pastor, this song is pretty accurate with many marriages. I counsel them, so I know... Thank God for Marriage 911....... many have been restored

  13. G.... L....

    Just had this song shared by an acquaintance. Wonderful voice young lady and a POWERFUL message.Thank you and may God continue to Bless you.

  14. T.... D....

    A song like this probably would have hurt, when we were going through it. But now I see it as a beautiful truth. One that we have made it to the other side of. It takes love to speak truth like this, and not hide it. So many don't make it...

  15. D.... E....

    ❤️👏

  16. J.... D....

    OMG. Amazing song!

  17. A.... P....

    Great song! It makes you wonder about the direction of your life...but I cried as it played; in realization....

  18. B.... B....

    Here my opinion, It is a beautifully sung and a strong song with powerful lyrics, but , It is not a song I would want on my play list to listen to over and over again.

  19. j.... c....

    WOW! Did your record label screw up!!!!. What an amazing song, it is sad and beautiful and so well sung..... Man What were they thinking????? Hope this is available. If not I WILL buy the album its on.. Great voice! Blessings to your folks and you!

    j.... c....

    It's on Spotify :)

  20. S.... 6....

    Whoever the record label is, they are wrong, don't tell us what we want to hear. Church clothes Is a great country ballad and we like it.

    Great song first of all Kelleigh... I have always said that most very religious church goers tend to be hypocrites, talking about others when they can't even be honest about their problems and issues.  Hopefully nobody takes offense to my comment.

  65. N.... U....

  84. K.... C....

    "We fight like hell but nobody knows cause were wearing our church clothes." That line alone is golden. Applies to a lot of aspects of life. The stuff that nobody knows. Great job, Kelleigh from a new fan.

  85. B.... P....

    Im only here because of auto play. I hate modern country music. Soooo cheesy.

    B.... P....

    whoa! ok. I can name you 10000000000 modern country songs more "cheesy" than this. But good on you for loving the classics. Cant argue with that. ❤️
