[Verse 1]
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 words, sweating when he tried to flirt
But he'd just never seen a woman in the world as beautiful as her
She told him all about Jesus and the love He had to give
Few years have 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
[Chorus]
Well, preacher man, he's so in love with God, his woman, his three sons
And every morning when he wakes, he thanks the good Lord up above
This life he lives is more than enough, sometimes things get tough
But he does it for his Valerie who pulled him from the rough, yeah
[Verse 2]
It was a Sunday night, he was back in his office
He was writing them talking points for the sermon next week
He was writing 'bout 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
He checked who was calling, he knew something was off when
He saw the sheriff's office on the caller ID
He picked up 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 popping
Before 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
