CHORUS:
I let a preacher
I let a preacher
I let a preacher talk to me tonight
I let a preacher
I let a preacher
I let a preacher talk to me tonight

Put away my weapon
Put away my whiskey
Put away everything unworthy in His sight
Picked up the Bible
Shrugged off its rival
I let a preacher talk to me tonight

Well my girlfriend
Didn't like the whirlwind
Of his words that quivered in their might
He spoke directly
I let a preacher talk to me tonight

CHORUS

I got the stare-down
He tore my fair down
He said "sinner, when are you gonna see the light?"
Felt adolescent
Under fluorescent lights
I let a preacher talk to me tonight

CHORUS

Got with my cousins
Nearly a dozen
Of them big boys just scratchin' for a fight
Well we confused it
Then we renewed it
I let a preacher talk to me tonight

CHORUS
