    Well, 


    brother 
    Joe 
    never 
    had 
    a lot 

    He 
    became 
    a man 
    of God 

    Started 
    preaching 
    at the 
    church 
    down 
    by mile 
    marker 
    17 He 
    works 
    his days, 

    he 
    works 
    his nights 

    Spends 
    his time 
    saving 
    lives 

    When the 
    day 
    ends, 

    he goes 
    home 
    to 
    his beautiful 
    family 

    His 
    sweet, 
    sweet 
    Valerie, 
    well, 

    she's 
    the whole 
    reason 

    He 
    ever 
    found 
    God 
    in 
    the first 
    place 

    He 
    thinks 
    back 
    to the 
    first 
    date 

    He was 
    nervous, 
    jumbling 
    his 
    word 

    Sweat
    ing 
    when he 
    tried to 
    flirt 

    He'd just 
    never 
    seen 
    a woman 

    in the 
    world 
    as 
    beautiful 
    as 
    her 

    Verse 2
    She 
    told 
    him all 
    about 
    Jesus 
    and the 

    love 
    He had 
    to 
    give 

    A few years 
    passed 
    now 
    and they're 

    thinking 
    'bout 
    some 
    kids 

    They 
    popped 
    out 
    a couple 
    few, 

    they 
    sit 
    up in the 
    front 
    pew 

    Every 
    Sunday 
    morning 
    when 

    he's in the 
    pulpit 

    Spreading 
    gospel 
    to the 
    room 

    Verse 3
    Well, 
    preacher 
    man, 
    he's 
    so 
    in love 

    With 
    God, 
    his woman, 

    his 
    three son

    And every 
    morning 
    when 
    he wakes 

    He thanks 
    the 
    good 
    Lord 
    up 
    above 

    This 
    life 
    he 
    lives' more 
    than enough 

    Sometimes 
    things 
    get tough 

    But he 
    does 
    it for his 
    Valerie 

    Who pulled 
    him from 
    the 
    rough, 

    yeah 

    Interlude 1


    Verse 4
    It was 
    Sunday 
    night, 

    he 
    was back 
    in his 
    office 

    He was 
    writing 
    them 
    talking 
    points 

    for the 
    sermon 
    next 
    week 

    He 
    was 
    writing 
    about 
    forgiveness 

    and 
    rolling 
    with the 
    punches 

    If 
    you 
    catch 
    one 
    on the 
    chin 

    You just 
    gotta 
    turn 
    the 
    other 
    cheek 

    phone 
    started 
    ringing, 

    he was 
    busy 
    singing 

    Some old 
    gospel 
    hymn 
    he learned 
    from 
    sweet, 

    sweet 
    Valerie 

    Verse 5
    He 
    checked 
    who 
    was calling, 

    he knew 
    something 
    was 
    off 

    When 
    he 
    saw 
    the sheriff's 

    office 
    on the 
    caller 
    ID 

    He 
    picked 
    up 
    and the call 
    and 

    his heart 
    started 
    dropping 

    He don't 
    get 
    this way 
    often 
    but 

    he's gritting 
    his 
    teeth 

    Someone 
    broke 
    into 
    the 
    parsonage, 

    the 
    neighbors 
    heard 
    the 
    poppin' 

    Be
    fore 
    the lady 
    finished, 

    he 
    was 
    down 
    on 
    his 
    knees 

    She 
    told 
    him they 
    caught 
    him, 

    two 
    broken 
    locks 
    and 

    Three 
    little 
    bodies 
    and 
    his sweet, 

    sweet 
    Valerie 

    Verse 6

    Well, the 
    preacher 
    man, 
    he's 
    got a 
    gun 

    He 
    don't wanna 
    hurt 
    no one 

    But 
    he believed 
    that Jesus 
    needed 
    him 

    To 
    leave 
    a bullet 
    in a 
    man's 
    head 

    He 
    knows 
    that come 
    the 
    risen 
    sun, 

    it'll 
    all be 
    said and 
    done 

    He 
    ain't gonna 
    make 

    it right 
    tonight 

    If he don't 
    paint 
    the walls 
    red 

    Verse 7
    He 
    puts 
    the steel 
    to his 
    own head 

    Two words 
    is all 
    he said 

    Tears 
    streaming 
    down his 
    cheek 

    as he 
    let 
    out 
    a "Jesus 
    wept" 

    What 
    the 
    hell 
    is all 
    this for? 

    Lifeless 
    body 
    hits 
    the floor 

    Soul 
    is headed 
    home, sweet 

    home 
    to 
    his 
    three boys 

    And 
    his 
    sweet, 

    sweet 
    Valer
    ie 

    Oh, 
    his 
    sweet 
    Valerie, 

    oh

      Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      "

      I’ve downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

      Well-Designed App

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

      Got me back into playing

      Tuliketsune

      "

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.
