    An oustanding live version of Tom Aricos' hit song "The Preacher" this version was recorded during Toms' recent tour in support of Israel.

    Lyrics
    Driving down the river in an old horizon
    i was talking to the preacher as my soul was rising
    i was crying about losing my wife and kids that day
    the preacher looked at me and said you got to realize
    the things you do today decide who lives and who dies
    you got to think about the future and the price your gonna pay

    I never really bargained for this all I wanted was just another kiss
    from a woman named laurie who I havent seen in seventeen years
    laurie was a killer at heart she took our love and ripped it apart
    and left me here standing in a pool of my own tears

    laurie left the ring upon her finger that day
    she said it diden't matter I had nothing to say
    she left her man alone like a cheap date in a saloon
    I drove untill the sun was sinking low in the west
    of those who play the cards i know I do it the best
    but the odds were catching up to me
    I'm gonna draw a losing hand soon

    upon the stone my life was engraved
    I was riding on the crest of a wave
    till it all fell apart you know things never go as planned
    and lauries inmy arms tonight
    shes warm but she's looking for a fight
    with a pocket full of broken vows saying
    faithfulness forever be dammed

    the preacher lit a ciggarette and opened the wine
    he said you hold her any tighter youll go over the line
    you know your daughters gonna see you
    and she dont want to see you like this
    the preachers words were cold and sent a chill up my spine
    it was'nt my desire and it was'nt the wine
    I let the woman go but not before I stole one last kiss
    My daughter meant the world to me but
    there were things I just could not see
    when the preacher raised his glass to toast the angel of desire

    the preacher took my daughter for a walk down the I'sle
    he said I'd make her happy with a wink and a smile
    he walked into the room turned around and locked the door
    the preacher left me standing on the side of the road
    his final words to me were boy you gotta unload
    I got into the car and put the pedal to the floor
    I drove the car deep into space among the stars I found a place
    between the rings of saturn where i'll never see the preacher again
    I drove the car away from that place passed the moon deep into space
    where I found a place out there where I'll never see the preacher again
