[Verse 1]
It's a southern story
It's a tale of sin
About an Alabama preacher man
Who will never preach again
Lord knows I'm a simple man
Only he would understand
Why he took the devil's hand
Mr. Preacher man

[Chorus]
Brother Travis was a
Preacher man
A man of the cloth, so they say
But he laid in bed with two women by his side
And a bottle of whiskey in his hand

[Verse 2]
Hey, hey Mr. Preacher man
Heard somebody say
You ain't worth the soul you sold
There's gonna be hell to pay
You wanna be a millionaire, so pass around the basket there
Ask a trusted friend to share
Mr. Preacher man
[Chorus]
Brother Travis was a
Preacher man
A man of the cloth, so they say
But he laid in bed with two women by his side
And a bottle of whiskey in his hand

I said Brother Travis will never understand

[Verse 3]
Too many times my mama cried
I would have too if it wasn't for pride
God and truth go hand in hand, Mr. Preacher man

[Verse 4]
Someday soon we'll be rid of you
That's when the truth will come shining through
If it's the last thing I ever do
Mr. Preacher man

[Chorus]
Brother Travis was a
Preacher man
A man of the cloth, so they say
But he laid in bed with two women by his side
And a bottle of whiskey in his hand
And a bottle of whiskey in his hand
Oh, yeah
Brother Travis will never understand
Oh yeah

[Guitar Solo]
