[Verse 1]
C/G
C/G C7
Litter the floor
C7 F F7
An all night revival
F7 C/G
Passed out around 4
C/G
Now the preacher's been drinkin'
C/G C7
But it's hard not to do
C7 F F7
Since she ran out the screen door
F7 C/G
And swore they were through
(Pre Chorus)
Dm F
Oh Lord, if you care, send a spirit down here
Dm F C/G C7
Cause the preacher's been drinkin' again
[Chorus]
C7 F C/G
But it's a hard way to go, on the straight and narrow
G G7 C/G C7
When everybody in town points a finger at you
C7 F C/G
But they ain't had to walk with the weight that you've hauled
C/G G G7 C/G
They don't know you at all, but they think that they do
[Verse 2]
C/G
He didn't believe her
C/G C7
He just knew she'd come home
C7 F F7
But the nights kept a' crawlin'
F7 C/G
As he laid there alone
C/G
And he'd call up to heaven
C/G C7
And he'd hope and he'd pray
C7 F F7
But the line's always busy
F7 C/G
Since he went astray
[Pre Chorus]
Dm F
Oh Lord, if you care, won't you answer his prayers
Dm F C/G C7
Cause the preacher's been drinkin' again
[Chours]

But it's a hard way to go, on the straight and narrow
C/G G G7 C/G C7
When everybody in town points a finger at you
C7 F C/G
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
[Verse 3]
C/G
Now the bottles and bibles
C/G C7
Broke out in a fight
C7 F F7
The whiskey fought hard, son
F7 C/G
And took the victory that night
C/G
They found him a' layin'
C/G C7
Face down by the stairs
C7 F F7
Dressed up for a sermon
F7 C/G
Nobody would hear
(Pre Chourus)
Dm F
Oh Lord, if you care, send your angels down here
Dm F C/G C7
Cause the preacher's been drinkin' again
[Chorus]

But it's a hard way to go, on the straight and narrow

When everybody in town points a finger at you

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