Good Religion Lyrics

So glad I got good religion.
So glad I got good religion.
So glad I got good religion.
My feet been taken out the miry clay.

Ain't you glad I got good religion.
Ain't you glad I got good religion.
Ain't you glad I got good religion.
My feet been taken out the miry clay.

My day was Monday,
When I got good religion.
My day was Monday,
When I got good religion.
My feet been taken out the miry clay.

My day was Tuesday,
When I got good religion.
My day was Tuesday,
When I got good religion.
My feet been taken out the miry clay.
My day was Wednesday,
When I got good religion.
My day was Wednesday,
When I got good religion.
My feet been taken out the miry clay.

My day was Thursday,
When I got good religion.
My day was Thursday,
When I got good religion.
My feet been taken out the miry clay.

My day was Friday,
When I got good religion.
My day was Friday,
When I got good religion.
My feet been taken out the miry clay.

So glad I got good religion.
So glad I got good religion.
So glad I got good religion.
My feet been taken out the miry clay.

Ain't you glad I got good religion.
Ain't you glad I got good religion.
Ain't you glad I got good religion.
My feet been taken out the miry clay.

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Cover art for Good Religion lyrics by Blind Boys of Alabama, The

I may have spelled marley clay incorrectly, and I'm not really sure what it is. (I couldn't find anything that places it in a religious context, although I gather the information exists somewhere.) I believe it is a mixture of clay, sand, shell pieces, and limestone, and that it's soft and can be molded by hand. Interpreting the song? It's difficult w/o understand the relevance of marley (or marly) clay. S/he's got "good religion," though. That one's a given:)
