lyrics

Big Revival

I seen the trucks pull in
I seen the tarp unfold
I seen em pounding in them stakes
like a big railroad
I seen em putting up the posters
and setting up chairs
There’s something going on babe
and I wanna be there

They got everything they need
to get everything done
They got the preacher, the pulpit
and the prodigal son
I’m putting on my shirt and
I’m gonna shine up my shoes
There’s a big revival
gonna get some good news

There’s a big revival rolling into town tonight
Yeah they’ll be passing the plate
I can’t wait till they show me the light
There’s a big revival
and this time honey I’m gonna go
Yeah they’ll be singing them songs
that I love, saving my soul
There’s a big revival just down the road

Dammit I told you they was coming
I could feel it in the air
They set up in the pasture
just like the fair
The top of the tent
they put a cross up for the star
So I put my little plastic Jesus on the dash of my car

God knows we’re willing
we’ve been saying our prayers
Saving up our sins for a couple of years
They said He was coming
hey now wouldn’t that be great
I want to go to Heaven and I just can’t wait

At first he started to sweat, then he started to shake
Pulled out the Gospel like a big earthquake
Held out the Bible in his big right hand
He said walk with us Jesus
through the promised land
