The Preacher

Made with Chat GPT and Suno.

[Verse 1]
I was born with fire runnin’ through my veins,
Raisin’ hell on horses, breakin’ locks and chains.
Fists like thunder, eyes like a loaded drum,
Had a name in Texas folks were runnin’ from.

[Pre-Chorus]
But even storms must find a shore,
And I was tired of fightin' wars.

[Chorus]
Now I walk with the Bible, not just with a gun,
Speak the truth under moon or sun.
I was forged in fire, but I learned to pray,
Still keep my irons, just in case.
'Cause peace don't last in a lawless land —
Sometimes grace needs a steadier hand.

[Verse 2]
Jeremiah rode in with the desert wind,
Didn’t flinch at scars or the life I'd sinned.
He saw the soul I thought I’d burned away,
And with words, not bullets, showed me a way.

[Pre-Chorus]
He said, “Son, the Lord don’t pick the clean,
He redeems the bruised, the in-between.”

[Chorus]
Now I walk with the Bible, not just with a gun,
Speak the truth under moon or sun.
I was forged in fire, but I learned to pray,
Still keep my irons, just in case.
'Cause peace don't last in a lawless land —
Sometimes grace needs a steadier hand.

[Verse 3]
Then came a gang like wolves through wheat,
Burnin’ stores and draggin' folks to the street.
I’d buried my past, left it in the dust —
But justice called, and I knew I must.

[Pre-Chorus]
So I put my collar on with lead,
Prayed for mercy, aimed for heads.

[Chorus]
Now I walk with the Bible, not just with a gun,
Speak the truth under moon or sun.
I was forged in fire, but I learned to pray,
Still keep my irons, just in case.
'Cause peace don't last in a lawless land —
Sometimes grace needs a steadier hand.

[Bridge]
I preach on Sundays, bless the bread,
But I sleep with one eye wide in bed.
This town is calm, the sky is blue,
But devils ride just past the view.

[Chorus – Final]
Yes, I walk with the Bible, not just with a gun,
Try to live right ‘til my days are done.
I was forged in fire, but I won’t deny,
Sometimes you fight so peace can survive.
A preacher now, but I won’t pretend —
That I don't know how quick things end.

[Outro]
So if fate turns cruel and shadows run,
I'll meet them calm — with a verse… and a gun.
