lyrics

We was sinners, we was headed for a fall
Until Reverend Jim came to save us all
He wore Italian leather shoes and drove a big Cadillac

Reverend Jim don’t like our neighborhood
Said we gotta leave this old church and build one that’s new
He showed us the architecture plans and passed around the plate again

Reverend Jim built him a big ole house
It’s got a swimming pool and a solarium
20 foot ceilings and granite floors

Chorus
But I’ve never been invited to that house behind them wrought iron gates
Where on the mantle between two Bibles sits a limited edition Richard Nixon gold commemorative plate

Reverend Jim wakes up and plays 18, he’s got a brand new set of tax-deductible clubs
He hits it pretty straight, and he’s got a good short game I hear
Reverend Jim dabbles in real estate, he’s got a pro bono lawyer and cut interest rate
There’s a new subdivision that’s got his name on it
Reverend says “hey boy, come park my car, it’s too hot out here for me to walk that far,
I got no singles right now, but I’ll catch you around . . . “

Well every month at that Chamber of Commerce, the good Reverend invocates
Casts fire and brimstone on all [us] sinners, gonna make sure of all [our] fates
But I’ve never been invited to the house behind them wrought-iron gates
Where on the mantle between two Bibles sits a limited edition, Richard Nixon gold commemorative plate.
