The Preacher
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I should've done it better
Should've done it right
Should've played it looser
Or played it tight
You shoot out an arrow
You should improvise
You should listen to me
Listen 'cause I'm wise
Preach preacher
Save me before I drown
Teach preacher
Bring bring gavel down
Eat preacher
Always got alot to say
Preach preacher
Find a way to break my day
Should've done it my way
Would've come out fine
Bottle in your cup and
Should've followed mine
Everyone goes running
Running when I call
I'm a one man army
So you know what up
Preach preacher
Save me before I drown
Teach preacher
Bring bring gavel down
Eat preacher
Always got alot to say
Preach preacher
Find a way to break my day
It will come a day son
When I'm not around
Should've took a lesson
Should've wrote it down
'Cause I rode a sparrow
And I will never stop
But you can't expect him
To see him running around town
Preach preacher
Save me before I drown
Teach preacher
Bring bring gavel down
Eat preacher
Always got alot to say
Preach preacher
Find a way to break my day
