Holy Roller

Loved and feared that mountain Where the smoke hides all our sins Til the holy ghost comes rolling in All she knew was the good book Anointed til her body shook Niaive and innocent Until the preacher reached into the serpent's pen We thought she was chosen But he twisted all the truth Out behind the revival tent Caught him laying hands on you Some called him a prophet Some a charlatan Tatted out fingers reading hate and love Speaking in a language with a forked tongue As the blood bought choir sung He pulled the trigger without a gun Passed out his hat for Jack Daniels and Jerusalem He was a holy roller He played a guitar til he reached fever pitch But was it all heaven sent Filled with the spirit Blinded by faith Sipped poison with a smile on his face Tapping on the top of them wooden pews In rattlesnake boots shouting "What would Jesus do?" Some called him a prophet Some a charlatan Tatted out fingers reading hate and love Speaking in a language with a forked tongue As the blood bought choir sung He pulled the trigger without a gun Passed out his hat for Jack Daniels and Jerusalem He was a holy roller Brother Ford stood up to testify Can I get a witness Can I get a witness Can I get a witness Can I get a witness Can I get a witness Some called him a prophet Some a charlatan Tatted out fingers reading hate and love Speaking in a language with a forked tongue As the blood bought choir sung He pulled the trigger without a gun Passed out his hat for Jack Daniels and Jerusalem He was a holy roller Yeah Holy Roller Yeah He was a holy roller Loved and feared that mountain Where the smoke hides all our sins Til the holy ghost comes rolling in
