normal">Preacher Man
I’m just about to come undone
Got myself in over my head
I’m so broke I can’t pay attention
I just needed some kind of sign
That somehow I’d find some relief
Then one night like an apparition
He appeared on my TV
A preacher man sayin’ if you just believe
I’ll give you my personal guarantee
The Lord is gonna give you everything you need
All you gotta do is give your money to me
Somethin’ about him seemed so sincere
A good man so full of good will
Next day I cleaned out my bank account
Sent him a hundred dollar bill
It was still too dark to see
Preacher man said don’t let the Devil in your head
Just keep sendin’ that money
Well hurry up Jesus what you waitin’ for
I’m in the belly of the beast and the hounds are at the door
Preacher man said you’d help me cover my loss
How much longer I got to carry this cross
-------
He sent me a letter RSVP
And he asked to help him pray for the sinners
So I put another dollar in that envelope
Now I wonder how I’ll pay for my dinner
He work on fear and doubt
Keep you scared long enough to put so much in
He doubt you ever gonna pull out
Well Jesus loves me this I know
But that preacher man took all my dough
Hurry up Jesus help me cover my loss
I don’t know how much longer I can carry this cross
Preacher man
Thanks for nothin’ man
