Ballad Of a Ten Dollar Preacher

Ridin' in the back of a long black limousine
Ridin' in the back of a long black limousine
Layed out in the coffin and I feel like screamin'
Somethin's wrong brother cause I'm still breathin'
Ridin' in the back of a long black limousine

Well a ten dollar preacher stands over my grave and cries
With a pie on his hip and a tear in his blood shot eyes
He says glory hallelujah and seven come eleven
Don't worry bout this boy cause he's goin' to heaven
Ten dollar preacher knows how to tell a powerful lie

Oh Lord up above won't you please have mercy on me
Is that really me in that coffin I see
That screamin' and cryin' and suffrin' and carryin' on
Ain't doin' me a better good now that I'm gone

Hell fire breathin' preacher you sure made the people believe
But looky here brother this ain't where you said I'd be
If this ain't hell two and five ain't seven
For what I heard it don't look like heaven
Ten dollar preacher you sure made a fool out of me

Ten dollar preacher I wish you were here with me
Old Satan is a griddin' his teeth and a comin' at me
Yeah he fits his cool but he's gonna be steamin'
When he finds out that I was only dreamin'
But I took that ride in that long black limousine

Ten dollar preacher you sure made a fool out of me
Hell fire breathin' preacher you sure made the people believe
Ten dollar preacher you sure made a big fool out of me
