If I Was The Priest
(专辑: Letter To You - 2020)
There's a
light on yonder mountain And it's calling me to shine There's a
girl over by the
water fountain And she's asking to be mine And Jesus is standing in the
doorway In a
buckskin jacket, boots and spurs so fine Says, "We need you, son, tonight up in Dodge City 'Cause there's just too many outlaws trying to work the
same line" Now if Jesus was a
sheriff and I
were a
priest If my lady was an heiress and my Mama was a
thief If Papa rode shotgun on the
Fargo line There's still too many bad boys trying to work the
same line Well, sweet Virgin Mary runs the
Holy Grail Saloon Well, for a
nickel she'll give you whiskey And a
personally blessed balloon And the
Holy Ghost is the
host with the
most And he runs the
burlesque show Where they let you in for free and they hit you when you go Mary serving Mass on Sunday and she sells her body on Monday To the
bootlegger who paid the
highest price He don't know he got stuck with a
loser, she's stone junkie What's more, she's a
user, she's only been made once or twice By some kind of magic If Jesus was a
sheriff and I
was a
priest If my lady was an heiress and my Mama was a
thief If Papa rode shotgun on the
Fargo line There's still too many outlaws trying to work the
same line Well, things ain't been the
same in Heaven Since big bad Bobby came to town He's been known to down eleven, then ask for another round Me, I
got scabs on my knees from kneeling way too long It's about time I
played the
man, took a
stand where I
belong Yeah, forget about the
old friends and the
old times There's just too many new boys trying to work the
same line Well, if Jesus was a
sheriff and I
were a
priest If my lady was an heiress and my Mama was a
thief If Papa rode shotgun on the
Fargo line There's just too many outlaws trying to work the
same line Well, there's a
light on yonder mountain And it's calling me to shine There's a
girl over by the
water fountain She's asking to be mine Jesus is standing in the
doorway Six guns drawn and ready to fan Said "We need you tonight, son, up in Dodge City" Told him I
was already overdue for Cheyenne If Jesus was a
sheriff and I
were a
priest If my lady was an heiress and my Mama was a
thief If Papa rode shotgun on the
Fargo line There's still too many bad boys trying to work the
same If Jesus was a
sheriff and I
were a
priest If my lady was an heiress and my Mama was a
thief If Papa rode shotgun on the
Fargo line There's still too many bad boys trying to work the
same If Jesus was a
sheriff and I
were a
priest
