This is a story about a Preacher
A red-headed stranger named Bill
He preached all his sermons on the back of a horse
Named trigger as you all know well
Now the life if a preacher's ain't easy
They go through fire and rain
They come out smelling like ashes and roses
Talkin' 'bout tryin' again
My heroes are all story tellers
And dusty old troubadours
It don't sound much like preaching but somehow they's teaching
My heart how to open the door
Broken, rejected and beat-up
Tryin' to get past the pain
I heard him saying "Just Roll me up"
And now I'm back on the road again
He was already my idol
When I met him in Austin that day
That red-headed stranger offered me a hit
While the band was getting ready to play
He leaned on brother Paul and sister Bobbi
Mickey and Jody and Bee
The congregation joined in and confessed all their sins
Cuz Redemption was guarandamnteed
My heroes are all story tellers
And dusty old troubadours
It don't sound much like preaching but somehow they's teaching
My heart how to open the door
Broken, rejected and beat-up
Tryin' to get past the pain
I heard him saying "Just Roll me up"
And now I'm back on the road again
I heard him & Snoop singin' "just roll me up"
And it got me back on the raod again
