Preacher man said
Over his bottle of gin
Sometimes in the early
Morning light
His collar’s too tight
Preacher man said
You can never win
With sin
No matter how hard you fight
It comes around again
Preacher man said
I made my bed
My bottle’s run dry
I’m in over my head
Not gonna lie
Preacher man said
I’m praying for revival
I need to borrow a tent
It’s for my survival
I might just have to lie though
