Momma, Ive got something to ask you, have things been alright? Dads been gone for a while, and the doors been locked up tight Shouldnt he be home any minute? Wish I knew what was going on I was such a young boy then, still I knew, something was wrong Who is this preacher man, and why aint he preaching no more? Whys he sittin in my fathers chair? Why cant I see my daddy no more? Momma, you dont have to tell me, we all got our secrets Even then I had a feeling I wouldnt know the truth for several years to come Who is this preacher man, and why aint he preaching no more? Whys he sittin in my fathers chair? Why cant I see my daddy no more? Seemed simple enough. Love divided. Innocent eyes dont fear change If youd have told me, then, the cause for departure, youd see a different man before you today With thoughts of suicide and my mother on his mind, still I wonder what my father would say Priest. No man of his word. Minister of disbelief A bastard, a liar, a hypocrite. Manipulative motherfucker stole my life from me Who is this preacher man? Used to call him a friend of mine Who does this coward think he is in my chair? Why cant I see my kids no more? I know this preacher man, he aint no friend of mine Now hes gone and changed the life of my children Dead preacher I hope to find. Who is this preacher man, and why aint he preaching no more?
