Written in Saratoga, Wyoming by Harley Osterlund & Brian D. Brooks on December 12th, 2012.

lyrics

1st Verse:
Rantin, raving, screamin, preachin, smoke a little homegrown fine a pleasing. People round here ain't got no reason, to be pushing that stuff when it's out of season.
Busted flat and out of time, speedin myself right out my mind. Smelling freedom ain't no crime. Wheeling dealing waste of time.
Chorus:
You can't be rich, if you ain't been poor, you get a little, always wanting more, knocking on the front, sneaking in the back, the devil walks in, you tip your hat, I'm your preacher man, I'm your preacher man, I'm your preacher man, pedaling, pushin, preachin, the best I can.
2nd Verse:
I like Scotch and I like whiskey, love my women just a little frisky, love too many can get real risky, you fry my chicken better make it crispy. Grandma said it's not her fault, granddad drinks his beer with salt. Whole damn thing has done gone crazy, this whole damn thing has got me hazy
2nd Chorus
Red light, green light, yellow light, go! Work for that money, but here for my show. Kicking in my door in the middle of the night, some wanting love by getting right, I'm your preacher man, I'm your preacher man, I'm your preacher man, peddling, pushing, and preaching the best I can.
3rd Verse:
Uptown, downtown, diggin a hole. Drowning in bourbon and selling my soul. Hell ain't full and I won't fill it. I'll switch right back when the spirits with me. Love love wasted love, send me a sign from above. She left town said I was crazy, whole damn thing has left me hazy.
3rd Chorus:
You can't get up by going down, living square won't make you round, dressed in black is the new white, we were all born knowing wrong from right. I'm your preacher man, I'm your preacher man, I'm your preacher man, peddling pushing and preaching the best I can. Peddling pushing and preaching the best I can.
