jake vaadeland - be a farmer or a preacher lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
there’s a place i remember so well
with stories that only i can tell
come listen to my story for a while
but be prepared, what you hear won’t make you smile

[chorus]
be a farmer or a preacher and look a little meeker
don’t tell anyone about your blues
submit and obey and thank the lord every day
that you can’t live a life that you choose
’cause someone’s gotta fill your daddy’s shoes

[instrumental break]

[verse 2]
there is a man who stands up so high
white skin covered with a suit and tie
he tells you what to do and what to say
says you’re the devil if you find another way

[chorus]
be a farmer or a preacher and look a little meeker
don’t tell anyone about your blues
submit and obey and thank the lord every day
that you can’t live a life that you choose
’cause someone’s gotta fill your daddy’s shoes
[instrumental break]

[verse 3]
there’s a woman there who sits down so low
covered all the way from head to toe
from her mouth you’ll never hear a sound
but her devil eyes will always stare you down

[chorus]
be a farmer or a preacher and look a little meeker
don’t tell anyone about your blues
submit and obey and thank the lord every day
that you can’t live a life that you choose
’cause someone’s gotta fill your daddy’s shoes

[instrumental break]

[verse 4]
i was born with a desecrated name
it haunts me and it makes me feel ashamed
the anger comes about behind closed doors
but it never helps me heal from all the sores

[chorus]
be a farmer or a preacher and look a little meeker
don’t tell anyone about your blues
submit and obey and thank the lord every day
that you can’t live a life that you choose
’cause someone’s gotta fill your daddy’s shoes
[outro]
be a farmer or a preacher and look a little meeker
don’t tell anyone about your blues
