Song Description

crazy man in prison song

Lyrics

See the old man over by the window with a good book in his hands
Steer clear if you wanna see the end of yourr time as a breathin
man
Rumor has he was a babtist preacher poster child for the good lords
meek
but when them two young punks took the life of his wife
her forgot about the other cheek
Judge didn't even ask him how a man of the cloth could do
such a thing
Hell he even apologized to the preacher as he let that gavel ring

Chorus
And he cries everytime that he looks into the mirror
Sometimes at night lord he screams out her name
Looks like a haunted man but that sure don't fool me
They call him the Preacher Man lord yeah
And he'll dang sure set you free

Since he been behind these bars he put 9 nothces on his belt
Seems he's taken it upon himself to decide who goes to hell
He kinda interviews every inmate that comes through
about their personal faith
And I know at least 9 poor souls sent to test at the pearly gates
In just a few days he's gonna ask if you belive with a long sad face
You just look him in the eye and say yessir I believe and
I will till my dyin' day

Chorus
