Preachin' To The Choir(Album Version) - Rodney Crowell[00:00:01]

My self importance is a god forsaken bore[00:00:19]

I aim for heaven but I wake up on the floor[00:00:23]

I'd take up with rattlesnakes to get my point across[00:00:28]

I'd argue with a parking brake to show em who's the boss[00:00:32]

It's my intention to inspire[00:00:37]

Instead I'm preaching to the choir[00:00:41]

I had some money but I blew it living high[00:00:46]

My wine and women were the best that you could buy[00:00:51]

I tried to prove myself a man of certain taste[00:00:55]

But all I've got to show you now is written on my face[00:00:59]

I'm not someone you'd admire but I'm still preaching to the choir[00:01:05]

I'm born a lion but I don't believe it fits[00:01:41]

I'm no king of the jungle out there living by my wits[00:01:45]

This morning's paper called for romance on a whim[00:01:50]

I reckon I'd believe em' if they told me sink or swim[00:01:54]

I'm under water not on fire but I'm still preaching to the choir[00:01:59]

Baytown texas there's a fisherman I knew[00:02:08]

He read the bible and he spit tobacco too[00:02:13]

He said that crap about the rod you spare to spoil the child[00:02:17]

Is only propaganda meant to keep you in denial[00:02:21]

Go on and follow your desire but he was preaching to the choir[00:02:27]

Time is of the essence when you're hanging by a thread[00:03:03]

And the answer to your questions won't unravel in your head[00:03:07]

When you're staring at forever from the edge of life's abyss[00:03:12]

No one's gonna tell you how it all came down to this[00:03:16]

If you say different you're a liar[00:03:22]

I'm just preaching to the choir[00:03:26]

When I'm standing at the st peter's gate a trying to slip on in[00:03:30]

I might as well plead guilty to the worst of who I've been[00:03:35]

I used to like to think I had a special way with words[00:03:39]

But right now I'm convinced I've more in common with the birds[00:03:44]

I'm not ready to retire I'll keep on preaching to the choir[00:03:49]

I'm not ready to retire I'll keep on preaching to the choir[00:03:58]
