Well Brother Joe never had a lot, he became a man of God Started preaching at the church down by mile marker 17 He works his days he works his nights He spends his time saving lives When the day ends he goes home to his beautiful family His sweet sweet Valerie, well she's the whole reason he Ever found God in the first place He thinks back to the first date He was nervous jumbling his words Sweating when he tried to flirt He'd just never seen a woman in the world as beautiful as her She told him all about Jesus and the love He had to give Few years have passed now and they're thinking bout some kids They popped out a couple few They sit up in the front pew Every sunday when he's in the pulpit spreading gospel to the room Well the preacher man he's so in love With God his woman his three sons And every morning when he wakes he thanks the good Lord up above This life he lives is more than enough sometimes things get tough But he does it for his Valerie who pulled him from the rough Yeah It was sunday night he was back in his office SongtexteHe was writing them talking points for the sermon next week He was writing about forgiveness and rolling with the punches If you catch one on the chin you just gotta turn the other cheek His phone started ringing he was busy singing some old gospel hymn he learned from his sweet sweet Valerie Checked who was calling he knew something was off when he saw the sheriff's office on the caller ID He picked up the call and his heart started dropping he don't get this way often but he's gritting his teeth Someone broke into the parsonage the neighbors heard the poppin Before the lady finished he was down on his knees She told him they caught him two broken locks and three little bodies and his sweet sweet Valerie Well the preacher man, he's got a gun he don't wanna hurt no one But he believed that Jesus needed him to leave a bullet in a man's head He knows that come the risen sun it'll all be said and done He ain't gonna make it right tonight if he don't paint the walls red He puts the steel to his own head Two words is all he said Tears streaming down his cheeks as he let out a "Jesus wept" What the hell is all this for lifeless body hits the floor Soul is headed home sweet home to his three boys and his sweet sweet Valerie Oh his sweet Valerie Ohhhhhhh Brother Joe never had a lot, he became a man of god Started preaching at the church down by mile marker 17 Aus Songtexte Mania
