Badger - The Preacher lyrics

Badger He wakes up and reaches for The whiskey by his side His heart is filled with shame But he can't turn the tide,oh no Still he spreads the word of God It's all he's got to keep from goin' insane No one hears him in pray But should listen well To the story that he tells As he's standing in the rain Listen to the Preacher Listen to what he say, alright Listen to the Preacher You've gotta stay a while You got the time to pray They know that he's a drunkard But he's seen the light of day He's just another man With dues still left to pay It's a bottle every day It's a bottle every day Yes, it's a bottle every day Been around a long, long time And started drinking young He says it doesn't 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 it's 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 don't you stay a while You got time to pray They know that he's a drunkard But he's seen the light of day He's just another man With dues still left to pay It's a bottle every day It's a bottle every day Yes, it's a bottle every day
