Holy Man Lyrics

I'm not a holy man

Ain't gonna make it to the promised land I'm not the nicest guy

Sure as shit I'm gonna make you cry I won't throw the first stone

I'll pick up the second And I'll drive it home

Together we climbed the Tower of Babel Above the jerks, the whores and the rabble

If I saw you teetering on edge Oh, baby, well, here's my pledge

I'd reach out and give you a shove And watch you tumble from up above

From my throne, precipice or summit I'd stand above you and watch you plummet

Like Roadrunner watches Wiley hit the ground First the dust, then the sound

Well, I'm not a holy man I'm never gonna make it to the promised land

Well, I'm not the nicest guy sure as shit I'm gonna make you cry

I won't throw the first stone, no, I'll pick up the second and I'll drive it home

After a second well, I'll walk to the edge

Oh, baby, baby, this is how I'll get my revenge I'll meet you at the gates of hell

Saying, devil, I got a story to tell Devil said, son, well, don't you see

She's got a seat here right next to me She introduced, oh, the snake and the apple

Holds the lease on your Tower of Babel

She asked Lot for some salt

I still don't know what that was all about She gave Moses the wrong directions

Oh, out of spite, so I reckon Oh, from her garden, so carefully grown

Well, Jesus wore her crown of thorns

Devil said, I've known her longer than you

She cut the deal at the crossroads, too

I'm not a holy man

Never gonna make it to the promised land I'm not the nicest guy

Well, sure as shit, I'm gonna make you cry

I won't throw the first stone, I'll pick up the second

And I'll drive it home

Devil said, son, you gotta know

It's time you just pass and go

She played you like a banjolele

This one here, well, ain't no lady

Who'll live the life that she never wanted

To be the one to live undaunted

I'm not the nicest guy

Well, sure as shit, I'm gonna make you cry

I won't throw the first stone But I'll pick up the second

And I'll drive it home
