Am G D
[Verse]
AmWell Brother Joe never had a life
GHe became a man of God
DStarted preachin' at the church
Down by mile marker 17
AmHe works his days he works his nights
GSpends his time saving lives
DWhen the day ends, goes home to hid beautiful family
[Verse]
AmHis sweet, sweet Valerie
GWell she's the only reason
DHe ever found God in the first place
He thinks back to the first day
AmHe was nervous jumbling his words
GSweatin' when he tried to flirt
DBut he just never seen a woman in the world
Who's beautiful as her
[Verse]
AmShe told him all about Jesus
GThe love He had to give
DFew years have passed now
And they're thinkin' ;bout some kids
AmHe popped out a couple few
GTo sit upi in the front pew
DEvery Sunday morning when he's in the pulpit
Spreading gospel to the room
[Verse]
AmThe preacher man he's so in love
GWith God, his woman, his three sons
DAnd every morning when he wakes
He thanks the good Lord up above
AmHis sloppy wheel well did enough
GSometimes things get tough
DBut he does it for his Valerie
Who pulled him from the rough yeah
[Instrumental/Solo]
Am G D D
Am G D D
[Verse]
AmIt wasn't Sunday night
GHe was back in his office
DHe was writing down talking points
For the sermon next week
AmHe was writing 'bout forgiveness
GAnd rolling with the punches
DIf you catch one on the chin
You just gotta turn the other cheek
[Verse]
AmThe phone started ringing
GHe was busy singing
DSome ole gospel hymn
He learned from sweet, sweet Valerie
AmHe checked who was calling
GHe knew something was off
DWhen he saw the sherrif's office
On the caller I.D.
[Verse]
AmHe picked up the call
GAnd his heart started dropping
DYou don't get this way often
But he's gritting his teeth
AmSomeone broke into the parsonage
GNeighbors heard the poppin'
D'Fore the lady flinched
He was down on his knees
[Verse]
AmShe told him they ain't cotton
GTwo broken locks and
DThree little bodies
And his sweet, sweet Valerieeeeeee
AmWell the preacher man he’s got a gun
GHe don’t wanna hurt no one
DBut he believed that Jesus needed him
To leave a bullet in a man’s head
[Verse]
AmHe knows that come the risen sun
GIt’ll all be said and done
DHe ain’t gonna make it right tonight
If he don’t paint the walls red
AmPuts the steel in his own head
GTwo words is all he said
DTears streamin down his cheek
As he let out that Jesus wept
[Verse]
AmWhat the hell was all this for
GLifeless body hits the floor
DSo he’s heading home sweet home
To his three boys
Am G D DAnd his sweet, sweet Valerie
Am G DAnd his sweet, sweet Valerie
D Am G DOhhhhh ohhhhh ohhhhh ohhh
[Outro]

AmBrother Joe never had a lot
GHe became a man of God
DStarted preaching at the church
