The Preacher Won't Have To Lie - Lee Ann Womack

I used to believe what money could bring

Was worth more than anything else

But all that changed when I had a dream

And I got a good look at myself

I stood face to face with the ghost of my past

And the spirit what was to come

And they made it clear that one day I’d have to Answer for what I had done

And I saw what I’d become

The choices you make

The chances you take

They’ll follow you all of your life

I’m just tryin' to live so when I die

The preacher won’t have to lie

I ain’t no prophet and I ain’t no saint

And I ain’t made no great sacrifice

I just keep tryin' to carry my weight

I keep trying to do what is right

And it’s hard to do right sometimes

The choices you make

The chances you take

They’ll follow you all of your life

I’m just tryin' to live so when I die

The preacher won’t have to lie

The choices you make

The chances you take
