The Deadbeat Cousins - The Preacher Man

Take me down to the river
The water's gonna hear my sins
The Preacher says, "son be careful
Or you might end up like him"
Mama don't you know I'm tired
I'm thinkin that I just might quit
You're better off going out on your own
But if you hesitate the devil wins
You see me as a paycheck
I see it now, so I left
Got one foot walking the line all day
The other one's still in bed
Teacher said not to listen to the voices in my head
You can hide what you do but not what you did
And if you hesitate, the devil wins
Last time, I knew I should've listened
This time, I know just what to do
Take me down to the river
The water's gonna drown my sins
You're better off going out on your own
But if you hesitate, the devil wins
If you hesitate, the devil wins
If you hesitate, the devil wins
