lirik lagu hal willis - the parson from paint rock

[verse 1]
he rolled out of paint rock valley, around midnight was the time
through scottsboro fjord and pain and across the georgia line
the man at the wheel wore a collar of white
the preacher in the daytime and a runner by night

[verse 2]
he pulled into atlanta where he made his first stop
then swung her down to birmingham where he made a second drop
when the congregation asked, “brother cross, where have you been?”
well, i’ve been down to birmingham fighting with a sin

[chorus]
the parson from paint rock
he’ll preach the word of god no more
the parson from paint rock
the lord and the devil both fighting for his soul

[verse 3]
the night grew dark and stormy, and the rain came pouring down
brother cross wound up his engine and he roared out of the town
but the revenewer’s lay waiting, up on highway 72
he said, “they’re here to get me, but i’ve got to go on through”

[verse 4]
he made the first curve and the second, but as he rounded the third
crying tires and a roaring engine were the last words that he heard
for suddenly a tire exploded and the car it left the road
a man of god was at the wheel hauling the devil’s load
[chorus]
the parson from paint rock
he’ll preach the word of god no more
the parson from paint rock
the lord and the devil both fighting for his soul

[verse 5]
the car went spinning crazy across the georgia sand
he reached down and took the bible and held it in his hands
then he cried, “dear god forgive me,” as he drew his final breath
and god reached down and took him as he closed his eyes in death
