| The Preacher Won't Have To Lie |
| I used to believe what money could bring Was worth more than anything else But all that changed when I had a dream And I got a good look at myself I stood face to face with the ghost of my past And the spirit what was to come And they made it clear that one day I'd have to Answer for what I had done And I saw what I'd become The choices you make The chances you take They'll follow you all of your life I'm just tryin' to live so when I die The preacher won't have to lie I ain't no prophet and I ain't no saint And I ain't made no great sacrifice I just keep tryin' to carry my weight I keep trying to do what is right And it's hard to do right sometimes The choices you make The chances you take They'll follow you all of your life I'm just tryin' to live so when I die The preacher won't have to lie The choices you make The chances you take They'll follow you all of your life I'm just tryin' to live so when I die The preacher won't have to lie Oh, the preacher won't have to lie |
