Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Bottles and Bibles
Litter the floor
An all night revival
Passed out around four
Now the preacher's been drinkin'
But it's hard not to do
Since she ran out the screen door
And swore they were through
[Verse 2]
Oh, Lord, if you care send a spirit down here
'Cause the preacher's been drinkin' again
[Verse 3]
But it's a hard way to go, on the straight and narrow
When everybody in town points a finger at you
But they ain't had to walk with the weight that you've hauled
They don't know you at all but they think that they do
[Verse 4]
He didn't believe her
He just knew she'd come home
But the nights kept a crawlin'
As he laid there alone
And he'd call up to Heaven
He'd hope and he's pray
But the line's always busy
Since he went astray
[Verse 5]
Oh, Lord, if you care won't you answer his prayers?
'Cause the preacher's been drinkin' again
[Verse 6]
But it's a hard way to go, on the straight and narrow
When everybody in town points a finger at you
But they ain't had to walk with the weight that you've hauled
They don't know you at all but they think that they do
[Verse 7]
Now the bottles and Bibles
Broke out in a fight
The whiskey fought hard, son
And took the victory that night
[Verse 8]
They found him a layin'
Face down by the stairs
Dressed up for a sermon
Nobody would hear
[Verse 9]
Oh, Lord, if you care send an angel down here
'Cause the preacher's been drinkin' again
[Verse 10]
But it's a hard way to go, on the straight and narrow
When everybody in town points a finger at you
But they ain't had to walk with the weight that you've hauled
They don't know you at all but they think that they do
[Verse 11]
So, Lord, if you care send an angel down here
'Cause the preacher's been drinkin' again
