Midnight Gospel
They call John "Preacher" cause he use to be
One down at First Trinity
Now he spends his nights down at the bar
Try'na forget the night he wrecked his car
Jesus might forgive "Thou shall not Kill"
But forgive himself, John never will
He still tells people bout "Amazing Grace"
But he won't let himself know the taste
Midnight Gospel gonna save your soul
Baptized in Neon and cheap alcohol
Midnight Gospel gonna save your soul
Baptized in Neon and cheap alcohol
Father Dave ain't no man of the cloth
But people come to him when they need to talk
Don't serve no cracker or communion wine
Tonight's shot special is Tequila with lime
Been tending bar here for 30 years
He's heard everything there is to hear
Sit down there next to Slim
An he'll take your confession til' 2am
Midnight Gospel gonna save your soul
Baptized in Neon and cheap alcohol
Midnight Gospel gonna save your soul
Baptized in Neon and cheap alcohol
Nothing Holy bout Danny except for his boots
They call him "The Reverend" cause of the suit
It's cheap and black but fits just right
Lady's love the look in the stage lights
Aunt Carol says he only wants one thing
But then she swoons when he sings
Now it's Friday night, line out the door
It's absolution that they came here for
Midnight Gospel gonna save your soul
Baptized in Neon and cheap alcohol
Midnight Gospel gonna save your soul
Baptized in Neon and cheap alcohol
One down at First Trinity
Now he spends his nights down at the bar
Try'na forget the night he wrecked his car
Jesus might forgive "Thou shall not Kill"
But forgive himself, John never will
He still tells people bout "Amazing Grace"
But he won't let himself know the taste
Midnight Gospel gonna save your soul
Baptized in Neon and cheap alcohol
Midnight Gospel gonna save your soul
Baptized in Neon and cheap alcohol
Father Dave ain't no man of the cloth
But people come to him when they need to talk
Don't serve no cracker or communion wine
Tonight's shot special is Tequila with lime
Been tending bar here for 30 years
He's heard everything there is to hear
Sit down there next to Slim
An he'll take your confession til' 2am
Midnight Gospel gonna save your soul
Baptized in Neon and cheap alcohol
Midnight Gospel gonna save your soul
Baptized in Neon and cheap alcohol
Nothing Holy bout Danny except for his boots
They call him "The Reverend" cause of the suit
It's cheap and black but fits just right
Lady's love the look in the stage lights
Aunt Carol says he only wants one thing
But then she swoons when he sings
Now it's Friday night, line out the door
It's absolution that they came here for
Midnight Gospel gonna save your soul
Baptized in Neon and cheap alcohol
Midnight Gospel gonna save your soul
Baptized in Neon and cheap alcohol
