the preacher

Badger
He wakes up and reaches for
The whiskey by his side
His heart is filled with shame
But he cant turn the tide,oh no
Still he spreads the word of God
Its all hes got to keep from goin insane
No one hears him in pray
But should listen well
To the story that he tells
As hes standing in the rain
Listen to the Preacher
Listen to what he say, alright
Listen to the Preacher
Youve gotta stay a while
You got the time to pray
They know that hes a drunkard
But hes seen the light of day
Hes just another man
With dues still left to pay
Its a bottle every day
Its a bottle every day
Yes, its a bottle every day
Been around a long, long time
And started drinking young
He says it doesnt 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 its 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 dont you stay a while
You got time to pray
They know that hes a drunkard
But hes seen the light of day
Hes just another man
With dues still left to pay
Its a bottle every day
Its a bottle every day
Yes, its a bottle every day
