The Old Time Preacher Man Lyrics by Blue Moon Rising

On The Rise

2005

He was just an old time preacher man
With overalls was all he wore
He preached the word and worked the land
Had a backbone like a two by four
He could barely even write his name
But he knew the good book front to back
No earthly riches could he claim
He lived in an old tar paper shack
[Chorus]
I've studied all he taught me ever since I was a kid
I followed in his footsteps watching everything he did
Now I do my best to make the whole world understand
All the lessons that I learned from the old time preacher man
I was just a young boy seventeen
When revival came to my hometown
Every word he spoke was meant for me
And I felt the power of god come down
He was there the day my momma died
I didn't know what I was gonna do
I felt so empty down inside
But he knew the words to help me through
He said just hold on tight to Jeseus
Trust in him and never stray
Stay up on the straight and narrow
You'll see her again some day
Those days are gone and won't return
There's troubled times throughout the land
There's a lot of things we all could learn
From an old time preacher man
[Chorus]
I've studied all he taught me ever since I was a kid
I followed in his footsteps watching everything he did
Now I do my best to make the whole world understand
All the lessons that I learned from the old time preacher man
