Karaoké Bottles and Bibles Tyler Childers

Bottles and bibles litter the floor

An all night revival

Passed out around four

Now the preacher's been drinkin' but it's hard not to do

Since she ran out the screen door and swore they were through

Oh Lord if You care send a spirit down here 'cos the preacher's been drinkin' again

But it's a hard way to go on the straight and narrow when everybody in town points a finger at you

But they ain't had to walk with the weight that you've hauled

They don't know you at all but they think that they do

He didn't believe her

He just knew she'd come home

But the nights kept a-crawlin' as he laid there alone

And he'd call up to heaven

And he'd hope and he'd pray

But the line's always busy since he went astray

Oh Lord if You care won't you answer his prayers 'cos the preacher's been drinkin' again

But it's a hard way to go on the straight and narrow when everybody in town points a finger at you

But they ain't had to walk with the weight that you've hauled

They don't know you at all but they think that they do

Now the bottles and bibles broke out in a fight

The whiskey fought hard son and took the victory that night

They found him a-layin' face down by the stairs

Dressed up for a sermon nobody would hear

Oh Lord if You care send an angel down here 'cos the preacher's been drinkin' again

But it's a hard way to go on the straight and narrow when everybody in town points a finger at you

But they ain't had to walk with the weight that you've hauled

They don't know you at all but they think that they do

So Lord if You care send an angel down here 'cos the preacher's been drinkin' again
