Fields Of The Lord
So, here's how it works
When you hit a new town, it doesn't matter if it's Sweetwater
Or Topeka or hell, even New York
You got three days to the blow off
The closing night when you take the town for all it's worth
And leave before they even know what's hit 'em
Of course, you gotta do your due diligence
Facebook is fine, but
There's still no substitute for good ol' shoe leather (Go to work!)
All right, eyes and ears open, people
Hit the barber shop and the Circle K (We'll go to work)
Straw hat: alcoholic
Orange cap: gambling shnide
Copy that (We'll go to work)
Honey, the doctor said to take your meds
It's not the pump, it's the well. It's run dry (We'll go to work)
I know, I been tossing and turning all night!
I think my wife's onto us!
Time for rolling up your sleeves now
Harvest time is here
No layin' about!
Go and gather up the sheaves now
Workin' in the fields of the Lord
Faith is rising tall as wheat there
All you gotta do is winnow it out
Every grain you get is sweet there
Workin' in the fields of the Lord
We'll go to work
Hey Zak, grab that old lady
Evenin', ma'am, are you from Sweetwater?
Well no, I drove thirty miles -
Perfect. How would you like to sit up front?
Oh, I don't need a wheelchair -
Why, thank you!
Souls are growing on the vine there
Ready to be plucked and harvested up
Ain't they looking fat and fine there?
Working in the fields of the Lord
When they're wrapping up to stop there
Shaking down a few, that heavenly cup
Soon you'll have a bumper crop there
Working in the fields of the Lord
We'll go to work
Hey, Mister
Call me Jonas, son
I had a dream you were coming
Did you? God bless you
Can I come to your revival?
Of course you can! Bring your folks!
(We'll go to work)
It's just my mom
And she's a godless heathen
(Let's go to work)
So, did you read those research reports?
Nah, hit me on the fly
Is the bluetooth on?
Line one, for your ears only!
Copy
What do you have on that boy in the wheelchair?
I'll Google him now
Okay. Sis?
Hm?
Let's make it rain!
Gather up the last stray sheep there
Whilst you bring them in, collect your reward
For as you have sown, you'll reap there
Working in the fields of the Lord
Who's got something on the wheelchair boy?
(Working in the fields of the Lord)
Anybody? Anything? Come on, people
(Working in the fields of the Lord)
You know, I'd fire y'all, but it's showtime
Working in the fields
Working in the fields
Working in the fields of the Lord
All right, here we go
When you hit a new town, it doesn't matter if it's Sweetwater
Or Topeka or hell, even New York
You got three days to the blow off
