The Preacher Lyrics - One Live Badger - Badger

He wakes up and reaches for 

The whiskey by his side 

His heart is filled with shame 

But he can't turn the tide,oh no 

Still he spreads the word of God 

It's all he's got to keep from goin' insane 

No one hears him pray 

But should listen well 

To the story that he tells 

As he's standing in the rain 

Listen to the Preacher 

Listen to what he say, alright 

Listen to the Preacher 

You've gotta stay a while 

You got the time to pray 

They know that he's a drunkard 

But he's seen the light of day 

He's just another man 

With dues still left to pay 

It's a bottle every day 

It's a bottle every day 

Yes, it's a bottle every day 

Been around a long, long time 

And started drinking young 

He says it doesn't matter now 

His life is almost done 

He has spent his life in vain 

Always trying to ease the pain 

In the heart of his fellow man 

Oh and now it's come this 

Is it me,in a mess? 

But no one understands 

Listen to the Preacher 

Listen to what he say, alright 

Listen to the Preacher 

Why don't you stay a while 

You got time to pray 

They know that he's a drunkard 

But he's seen the light of day 

He's just another man 

With dues still left to pay 

It's a bottle every day 

It's a bottle every day 

Yes, it's a bottle every day
