Midnight Gospel Lyrics

They call John "Preacher" cause he use to be

One down at First Trinity

Now he spends his nights down at the bar

Try'na forget the night he wrecked his car

Jesus might forgive "Thou shall not Kill"

But forgive himself, John never will

He still tells people bout "Amazing Grace"

But he won't let himself know the taste

Midnight Gospel gonna save your soul

Baptized in Neon and cheap alcohol

Midnight Gospel gonna save your soul

Baptized in Neon and cheap alcohol

Father Dave ain't no man of the cloth

But people come to him when they need to talk

Don't serve no cracker or communion wine

Tonight's shot special is Tequila with lime

Been tending bar here for 30 years

He's heard everything there is to hear

Sit down there next to Slim

An he'll take your confession til' 2am

Midnight Gospel gonna save your soul

Baptized in Neon and cheap alcohol

Midnight Gospel gonna save your soul

Baptized in Neon and cheap alcohol

Nothing Holy bout Danny except for his boots

They call him "The Reverend" cause of the suit

It's cheap and black but fits just right

Lady's love the look in the stage lights

Aunt Carol says he only wants one thing

But then she swoons when he sings

Now it's Friday night, line out the door

It's absolution that they came here for

Midnight Gospel gonna save your soul

Baptized in Neon and cheap alcohol

Midnight Gospel gonna save your soul

Baptized in Neon and cheap alcohol
