Holy Smokes Video (MV)

In a small town in Alabama, just outside of Tuskegee
There was a heat wave, there was a dry spell
Haven't seen a drop of rain in weeks
Out on back roads two young lovers went out driving after dark
Flicked a cigarette out the window looking for a quiet place to park
It didn't take long in the dry grass for that tiny spark to turn to flame
On the front lawn of an old building
Where on Sunday mornings all the townsfolk came
And they said
Holy Smokes
The church burned down
Everybody stop and stare
People come from miles around
Bow your heads and say a prayer
All the townsfolk were brokenhearted
That their beloved house of worship was all gone
Some people said was the devil
Some said it must have been the will of God
But they decided to pull together, and donate what they could afford
They would build a brand new chapel
Hallelujah, Praise the Lord
Holy Smokes
The church burned down
Everybody stop and stare
People come from miles around
Bow your heads and say a prayer
Never knowing that they were guilty
The two young lovers decided to marry
The first wedding on that new altar
I guess that some things are meant to be
Holy Smokes
The church burned down
Everybody stop and stare
People come from miles around
Bow your heads and say a prayer
Holy Smokes
The church burned down
Everybody stop and stare
People come from miles around
Bow your heads and say a prayer
