lyrics

She’s not a girl, she’s a prize
And you wouldn’t be surprised
To learn that she once stole a horse
She had electromagnetic shock treatment
From a doctor in Waukegan
The year her parents sent her off to college
She says there’s nothing so grand
As the backhand of a Preacher

Call her Sally, call her Jane
She says what the hells the use in a name
As she braids her hair into a noose
Yes, that’s a diamond embedded in her forehead
Her chamber’s full of hot lead
Her bullet’s all blessed by the pope
She says there’s nothing so grand
As the backhand of a Preacher

She ran a gambling den whorehouse
In Tijuana in a tight blouse
While wiretapping the President
Soft skin, and dry blood beads
Yes, that’s her rosary
But you’ll never hear her pray
She says there’s nothing so grand
As the backhand of a Preacher

Now lightening struck her, but just one time
She claimed it sharpened up her mind
But it took the hearing in her right ear
Now, on occasion she gave me a ride
Had no idea I’d be riding beside
Someone who’d take so much from me
