about

Pastor Jim put his moonshine back on the shelf
A nasty habit he couldn't help
He blamed it on the fact his wife was entering stage 5
Another self deceiving lie

Pastor Jim spent his life doing God's work
He said "If this is repayment, God's a jerk!"
Then he got down onto his knees
Threw up his hands and screamed

What more do you want from me
Because I have nothing else to give
I gave you my soul, and you ripped out my heart
I fulfilled my end, would you please do your part

Pastor Jim went to the room of his wife one night
She just laid there in cancer pain
All he wanted to do was break down and cry
Instead he held her hand 'til morning came
And he thought

What more do you want from me
Because I have nothing else to give
I gave you my soul, and you ripped out my heart
I fulfilled my end, would you please do your part

She left this world at 6:02
And Pastor Jim knew she was in a better place
But he told God it's best if we still part ways
At least until he could deal with the pain

Pastor Jim had a gun for breakfast the next day
He couldn't deal with the shame
