Preacher

When I was a kidI used to buy and sell gravityI knew how to flyAnd I would teach you for a feeBroke every windowIn my hotel heartWhen I was only 5 years old but 12 years scarredAnd I'd hear the same voiceEcho in my mindSaid, "Son you got an angel,To chase the devil at night."YeahWhen I was a kidMy grandfather was a preacherHe'd talk about GodYeah he was something like a teacherHe said, "God only helps thoseWho learn to help themselves."He was a million miles from a million dollarsBut you could never spend his wealthI took a little faithAnd put it in a parking lotI drove to a strange townFull of "have" and "have nots"And as I walked through that storybook lifeI was looking for an angel to chase the devil at nightOh! Oh! Oh!When I was a kidMy grandfather was a preacherHe'd talk about loveYeah he was something like a teacherHe said, "God only helps thoseWho learn to help themselves."He was a million miles from a million dollarsBut you could never spend his wealthOh! Oh! Oh!Ooh! Ooh! Ooh!WavePut your hands up and hands downWhen I was a kidMy grandfather was a preacherHe'd talk about lifeYeah he was something like a teacherHe said, "God only helps thoseWho learn to help themselves."He was a million miles from a million dollarsBut you could never spend his wealthHe was a million miles from a million dollarsBut you could never spend his wealth.
