The Preacher Won T Have To Lie lyrics

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
