Preacher

#myfavouriterepost (with a new verse)

What's this that I can see
A preacher dressed in black
And he's beckoning to me

He said. 'Son, you've had a life
And now it's time to pay
I have come here to collect
And the price is due today

A lifetimes misdemeanours
And although now you're good
You're on my list of sinners
Come to my neighbourhood'

'Hey there Mister Preacher
Just a god damned minute
This life has been a battle
My choice to lose or win it

Up ahead, there's a bar I know
Let's take a bottle or two
If I win, I stay
If I lose I'll go with you'

We slipped into a booth
And I laid his soul to waste
Seems my brand of sinning
Weren't exactly to his taste

It took about an hour
Preacher sprawled upon the floor
I left him in his stupor
And just walked out the door

Here endeth the lesson
Faithless sinner or pussycat
If you wanna take me
You'll need stronger faith than that...
