Angie Miller - Dancing with Preacher (feat. Tony Denikos) Lyrics

Opelousas is boring, Tommy Dorsey is touring
And the band's gearing up for one more
Between a step and a stagger, a strut and a swagger
He crosses the polished oak floor

She starts to look up from her half-empty cup
When a friend says you're catching his eye
His real name is Edwin, but folks call him Preacher
Nobody seems to know why

Dancing with Preacher, it's a waltz on a razor
Learning the steps between living for love and living a lie
The music keeps playing, two bodies swaying
She throws her hat in the ring, now she's dancing with Preacher tonight

He works for a living, they take more than they're giving
And sometimes it makes him feel mean
She tries to appease him, but she can't seem to please him
Scared she might stir up a scene

She knows that it's risky, but hands him his whiskey
Hoping it'll settle him down
But the sad song comes creeping, she knows she can't keep him
Watches him head into town

Dancing with Preacher, it's a waltz on a razor
Learning the steps between living for love and living a lie
The music keeps playing, two bodies swaying
She throws her hat in the ring, now she's dancing with Preacher tonight

Sometimes you lead with your heart, sometimes you lead with your chin
Sometimes you're dancing in grace, sometimes you're dancing in sin

Dancing with Preacher, it's a waltz on a razor
She's learning the steps between living for love and living a lie
The music keeps playing, just two bodies swaying
She throws her heart in the ring, now she's dancing with Preacher tonight
