If I Was The Priest Song Lyrics

If I Was The Priest by Bruce Springsteen Song Lyrics

There's a light on yonder mountain
And it's callin' me to shine
There's a girl over by the water fountain
And she's askin' to be mine

And Jesus is standing in the doorway
In a buckskin jacket, boots and spurs so fine
Says, "We need you, son, tonight up in Dodge City
'Cause there's just too many outlaws
Tryin' to work the same line"

Now if Jesus was a sheriff and I were a priest
If my lady was an heiress and my mama was a thief
If papa rode shotgun on the Fargo line
There's still too many bad boys
Tryin' to work the same line

Well sweet Virgin Mary runs the Holy Grail saloon
With a nickel she'll give ya whiskey
And a personally blessed balloon
And the Holy Ghost is the host with the most
He runs the burlesque show
Where they'll let you in for free
And they hit you when you go

Mary's serving Mass on Sunday
And she sells her body on Monday

Fine work. After seeing the documentary on Apple, buying the album became imperative. I can readily identify with the songs. Age may have much to do with it.

Shut up and Sing. I have really loved Bruce's music for many years. The few clips I've heard sound great. I do wish that he, along with others would simply sing, dance, act, or throw the ball. Your opinion doesn't matter other than thinking I will spend my money elsewhere while you go live somewhere else.

Worst album yet. I’ll never understand why artists of every stripe feel such a need to virtue signal and lecture their audience. It certainly comprises the quality of their product

See you in my dreams. NASCAR did a tribute to Jimmie Johnson with this song. #OneFinalTime

All the weaknesses gone!. No synth washes, no dumb politics, no fussy overproduction or trend chasing, he’s not doing the cowboy shtick, no Woody Guthrie pantomime, and few Patti vocals! Sounds vintage and great, although no sax. Recording quickly and spontaneously, like Dylan, suits Springsteen. This is awesome. But, “Ghosts” is “The Walls Came Down” by The Call. Accidental rip-off. And Bruce’s buddy Willie Nile did a song called “House of a Thousand Guitars.” I think Bruce is absorbing some things without realizing it.

Great Album.... Being an occasional fan of Bruce Springsteen, such as for only certain songs, I really like this album. Most of the songs are great, particularly these ones, One Minute You are here, Letter to You, House of Thousand Guitars, and I’ll See You in My Dreams. .

Great single. New single is great, and looking forward to complete album

Soulful. Full of heart. Ghosts sits comfortably among his best.

Like a fine wine. I could not wait for this ablum to be released. Absolutely love it! Every song is every bit Boss style. Will be playing on repeat for a while :D

Bruce and the E Street Band make magic. I cannot believe how good this album is. Great song after great song and hope I one day get to hear them live.
