Preacher - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

When I was a kid I used to buy and sell gravity

I knew how to fly, and I would teach you for a fee

Broke every window in my hotel heart

When I was only five years old but twelve years scarred

And I'd hear the same voice echo in my mind

It'd say, "Son, you've got an angel."

That'd chase the devil at night

When I was a kid my grandfather was a preacher

He'd talk about God, he was something like a teacher

He said, "God only helps those who learn to help themselves"

He was a million miles from a million dollars

But you could never spend his wealth

I took a little faith, and put it in a parking lot

I drove to a strange town full of "have" and "have nots"

And as I walked through that story-book life

I've been looking for an angel who'd chase the devil at night

When I was a kid my grandfather was a preacher

He’d talk about love, he was something like a teacher

He said, “God only helps those who learn to help themselves”

He was a million miles from a million dollars

But you could never spend his wealth

Wave, put your hands up and hands down

When I was a kid my grandfather was a preacher

He’d talk about life, he was something like a teacher

He said, “God only helps those who learn to help themselves”

He was a million miles from a million dollars

But you could never spend his wealth

He was a million miles from a million dollars

But you could never spend his wealth
