Preacher

Lyrics by：Ryan Tedder/Brent Kutzle

Composed by：Ryan Tedder/Brent Kutzle

When I was a kid

I used to buy and sell gravity

I knew how to fly

And I would teach you for a fee

Broke every window

In my hotel heart

When I was only five years old the twelve years scarred

And I'd hear the same voice

Echo in my mind

Said son you got an angel

To chase the devil at night

When I was a kid

My grandfather was a preacher

He'd talk about God

Yeah he was something like a teacher

He said God only helps those

Who learn to help themselves

He was a million miles from a million dollars

But you can never spend his wealth

I took a little faith

And put it in a parking lot

I drove to a strange town

Full of have and have nots

And as I walk through that storybook life

I'll be looking for an angel to chase the devil at the night

Oh oh oh

When I was a kid

My grandfather was a preacher

He'd talk about love

Yeah he was something like a teacher

He said God only helps those

Who learn to help themselves

He was a million miles from a million dollars

But you can never spend his wealth

Wave

Put your hands up and hands down

Wave

Put your hands up and hands down

Wave

Put your hands up and hands down

When I was a kid

My grandfather was a preacher

He'd talk about life

Yeah he was something like a teacher

He said God only helps those

Who learn to help themselves

He was a million miles from a million dollars

But you can never spend his wealth

He was a million miles from a million dollars

But you can never spend his wealth
