The I Heart PCA interns had the brilliant idea to write some new lyrics to country songs - makes sense, right? Here you go. One important note - all of these singers are from foreign countries. They weren't corrected if they got a word or two wrong. And they had some doozy lyrics to work with (sorry about that). We think they're wonderful. And please don't tell the artists! So: 1. I Try to Think about Morton - this is what we do when we don't want to think about the pandemic or politics 2. Shoes - a tribute to some of the great Presbyterian pastors who are still living and ministry as of the recording of this song 3. Nothing Loves Like Liturgy Does - duh 4. Buy Me Some Votes - how we can get what we want passed at GA 5. Diggin' Up Bones - sorry to break it to you, but not everything in the PCA world is awesome 6. Are you Sure - a slow ballad about whether or not you want to join a church, presbytery, or denomination 7. You Can't Get There From Here - you want to escape frustration at GA? 8.

Here are the lyrics: Well I just came up from Atlanta I had the ear of the PCA headquarters I was thinking about the overtures the year before I'd taken a bit of time Thought I might go on by Then the reality came floodin in And you closed that door Chorus Forget that weight gain baby Everything else matters more Keep focused on the grey Crashin in the gay Forget about that weight gain baby To keep other issues way at bay Wish I had the heart To kick porn to the end of the chart I'll keep the slander part Forget that weight gain baby Forget that weight gain Forget about that weight gain Every time I talk to you I hear the jealous lies I feel like I've got to justify My full on compromise Every time I hear rebuke My conscience won't fire up I double down. It's not a kook. My stocks are going up Chorus When I read on Proverbs 6 I stumble on the list So I'll start a blog And forget my log The wolves within my midst And every time I think I've got it The libs we'll beat them back I wish the Spirit would come through We'll make that front attack Forget about that weight gain baby Everything matters way way more Koreans just can't pray They don't do it the right way. Forget about that weight gain baby Wish I had the heart To kick my porn addiction And I'll keep the slander part Forget about that weight gain baby Forget about that weight gain baby Forget about that weight gain baby

You'll hear about re-written country songs, but don't tell because we don't want to get in trouble for copyrights.

Here's the first go: Last night I pulled the books out from my growing massive drawers I laid some on the table and I read a bit til four I found some things I'd forgotten right up til the break of dawn Yeah, I've been sittin' alone digging up bones Thinkin' bout the first blast and the monstrosities of women rift Some anti-semitism from the reformers is always a great gift There's a Servetus lurking in the corner of each and every home Yeah tonight I'm sittin' alone digging up bones
