Show Me A Preacher

I know you didn’t miss me in Sunday school
My mother raised twelve children but she never raised a fool
With the flock, your charade may come off without a hitch
But get thee behind me Satan and I’ll show you a son of a bitch
You chastise the harlot for all the things she did
But I can’t throw a rock in this town without hittin’ one of your bastard kids
You pass me by as I struggle with my mule stuck in the ditch
So get thee behind me Satan and I’ll show you a son of a bitch
Show me a preacher and I’ll show you a son of a bitch
Show me what they’re tithing’ and I’ll show you who gets rich
Go on ahead and judge me and pray for God to throw the switch
Show me a preacher and I’ll show you a son of a bitch
Brother Seth how could you blaspheme against the Father’s name
‘Tis nothing to do with the Father it’s the mouthpiece that I blame
Whose new wine leaves me sober with a thirst that can’t be quenched
So get thee behind me Satan and I’ll show you a son of a bitch
Show me a preacher and I’ll show you a son of a bitch
Show me what they’re tithing’ and I’ll show you who gets rich
Go on ahead and judge me and pray for God to throw the switch
Show me a preacher and I’ll show you a son of a bitch

Gas, Food, Lodging, and God
I need gas
I need food
I need lodging and I need God
I need gas, food, lodging and God
It seems that I didn’t find
Enough fuel in time
Now I’m waiting roadside for salvation
To tow me in to the station
And I’ll get down on my knees
I forgot just how it feels
I bow my head and pray
For a cross of hydraulic steel
Amen, Amen, Amen
So tow me on to through pearly gates
Deliver me straight to the lord
Tell my wife to spoil the kids and spare the rod
I’m goin’ where there’s gas, food lodgings and God
I’m goin’ where there’s gas, food lodgings and God
Amen, Amen, Amen
You’ll find your road brother, you’ll find it. Amen

Alcohol on my Children II
With alcohol on my breath, I danced with my children
With alcohol on my breath, I laughed with my wife
With alcohol on my breath, I gave up religion
With alcohol on my breath, I ended my life
With alcohol on my breath, I can’t hear your callin’
With alcohol on my breath, I can’t see your face
With alcohol on my breath, I see Hell has no bottom
With alcohol on my breath, I see there’s no such place
With alcohol on my breath, I danced with my children
With alcohol on my breath, I laughed with my wife
With alcohol on my breath, I gave up religion
With alcohol on my breath, I ended my life

The Night I Saw
It was the night I saw the light
I can’t remember if it was bright
There was a tunnel that I went through
And at the end, the wretched truth
Now that night comes to me in flashes
On the ground with mud up to my waist
In my nose, a putrid odor, in my mouth the foulest taste
I remember a great bonfire and dancin’ ‘round the swirling flames
A conversation with the Devil or an angel with an evil name
I was rollin’ in the ashes and the stranger standing close beside
He was crying about my mother and my soul he could not find
And I woke up in a cold motel room where everything was pearly white
And I’ve been cursed with a blessed affliction, to walk the world, to lead the fight
I’m an ordained prophet spinnin’ out of control
As reluctant as I can be
Like a guilty hog that’s freshly slaughtered
Roastin’ on a rotisserie
Roastin’ on a rotisserie
Roastin’ on a rotisserie
