Brother Joe Lyrics
Well Brother Joe never had a lot, he became a man of God
Started preaching at the church down by mile marker 17
He works his days he works his nights
He spends his time saving lives
When the day ends he goes home to his beautiful family
His sweet sweet Valerie, well she’s the whole reason he
Ever found God in the first place
He thinks back to the first date
He was nervous jumbling his words
Sweating when he tried to flirt
He’d just never seen a woman in the world as beautiful as her
She told him all about Jesus and the love He had to give
Few years have passed now and they’re thinking bout some kids
They popped out a couple few
They sit up in the front pew
Every sunday when he’s in the pulpit spreading gospel to the room
Well the preacher man he’s so in love
With God his woman his three sons
And every morning when he wakes he thanks the good Lord up above
This life he lives is more than enough sometimes things get tough
But he does it for his Valerie who pulled him from the rough
Yeah
It was sunday night he was back in his office
He was writing them talking points for the sermon next week
He was writing about forgiveness and rolling with the punches
If you catch one on the chin you just gotta turn the other cheek
His phone started ringing he was busy singing some old gospel hymn he learned from his sweet sweet Valerie
Checked who was calling he knew something was off when he saw the sheriff’s office on the caller ID
He picked up the call and his heart started dropping he don’t get this way often but he’s gritting his teeth
Someone broke into the parsonage the neighbors heard the poppin
Before the lady finished he was down on his knees
She told him they caught him two broken locks and three little bodies and his sweet sweet Valerie
Well the preacher man, he’s got a gun he don’t wanna hurt no one
But he believed that Jesus needed him to leave a bullet in a man’s head
He knows that come the risen sun it’ll all be said and done
He ain’t gonna make it right tonight if he don’t paint the walls red
He puts the steel to his own head
Two words is all he said
Tears streaming down his cheeks as he let out a “Jesus wept”
What the hell is all this for lifeless body hits the floor
Soul is headed home sweet home to his three boys and his sweet sweet Valerie
Oh his sweet Valerie
Ohhhhhhh
(closing verse)
Brother Joe never had a lot, he became a man of god
Started preaching at the church down by mile marker 17
