Bootleg 

 

 

 

Down home preacher… paced back and forth

In the name of Jesus…

Casting out demons …left and right…

Named them …sending them back to HELL…

Calling them out …loud… and vulgar

Working him or herself …into a frenzy

Thumping that …well worn bible…

Having sinners squirm …in their seats

Sweating bullets …talking about forgiveness

Delivering sermons …and breaking the pace

With good old, down home …gospel music…

Pass the plate …one time…

Not enough! …turn on the juice…  

…cause if you squeeze the congregation, right…

The cash will flow …we all know…

Tell …and show, YOU mean business…

Shut the devil down …on this day…

That’s just how it goes

Even though, money is tight

If the message doesn’t hit home

Those offering plates

Will be looking mighty skimpy

Raise Hell …and shut it back down…

WATCH OUT

This one’s a spinner …a dancer…

A stare you down …hard charging, screamer…

She’s a soft spoken, down low voice

Building up …to a tempest…

SHOUTER!!!

Killing off devils …calling out sins…

Talking about lusting …people…

Like they were trying to be …slick and wicked…

Acting cute …dressing fly,

Trying to catch a honey …on the sly

Sometimes …the church deacons

Would gather together

To support one another

Shout, march …and stomp…

Now, that’s …a bootleg church…

A country church…

For people…

Who

Really, love

…Jesus…

Once the Jacklegs finish selling out of the trunk...moonshine tales....the real healers can get on with the helping healed spirits to fly on...Peace and Love, mlowe5.

Every possible angle ...since creation... is being covered ...by those who desire change ...some good, some bad ...some just different...
