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 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
|
|
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
|

The Preacher Won't Have To Lie
