The Official Lyric Video for "Church Girl" by Carly Pearce.

In “Church Girl,” GRAMMY, CMA & ACM Award-winning Country star Carly Pearce offers a compassionate re-examination of the beliefs many of us are raised with. Carly sings the unexpected as she empathetically belts, “I’m just a sinner, who’s been where you’re at. So you like to get high when you talk to Jesus. So you love who you love, and you go out on the weekends. So you drink, and you think for yourself, that don’t mean you’ll go to hell when you leave this world. Just ‘cause you heard it in church, girl.” With a clear message of acceptance, “Church Girl” unfolds as a warm, encouraging open letter to anyone still finding their way, delivered through the voice of someone who’s lived the journey. More love, less judgement.

LYRICS:
Written by Cameron Bedell, Seth Ennis, Carter Faith

Hey, church girl doin’ everything wrong
Walking on eggshells with your high heels on
Hey, church girl with the Jezebel dress
Better take it off, you’re making all the boys think sex
You got your questions but you’re too scared to ask
I’m just a sinner who’s been where you’re at

Chorus
So, you like to get high
When you talk to Jesus
So, you love who you love
And you go out on the weekends
So, you drink, and you think for yourself
That don’t mean you’ll go to hell
When you leave this world
Just ‘cause you heard it in church, girl

Hey, church girl wearing all that guilt
Just ‘cause you didn’t wait don’t mean it wasn’t real
You turn up a song that isn’t Amazing Grace
They say that you’re hopeless
But that just ain’t the case

Repeat Chorus

And I’ve heard what you’ve heard, girl
Read every bible verse, girl
If God is who he says he is
Then I don’t think you’re cursed, girl

Just ‘cause you like to get high
When you talk to Jesus
So, you love who you love
And you go out on the weekends
So, you drink, and you think for yourself
That don’t mean you’ll go to hell
When you leave this world
Just ‘cause you heard it in church, girl
