The Preacher Won't Have To Lie Songtext / Lyric

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 of 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



But 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
