[Verse 1]
---------------------
Bm A
Well Brother Joe never had a lot, he became a man of God
E
Started preaching at the church down by mile marker seventeen
Bm A
He works his days, he works his nights, he spends his time saving lives
E
When the day ends he goes home to his beautiful family
[Verse 2]
---------------------
Bm A
His sweet sweet Valerie, well she's the whole reason he
E
Ever found God in the first place, he thinks back to the first date
Bm A
He was nervous jumbling his words, sweating when he tried to flirt
E
He'd just never seen a woman in the world as beautiful as her
[Verse 3]
---------------------
Bm A
She told him all about Jesus and the love He had to give
E
Few years have passed now and they're thinking bout some kids
Bm A
They popped out a couple few, they sit up in the front pew
E
Every sunday morning when he's in the pulpit spreading gospel to the room
[Verse 4]
---------------------
Bm A
Well the preacher man he's so in love with God, his woman, his three sons
E
And every morning when he wakes he thanks the good Lord up above
Bm A
This life he lives is more than enough, sometimes things get tough
E
But he does it for his Valerie who pulled him from the rough, yeah
[Solo 1]

[Verse 5]
---------------------
Bm A
It was a Sunday night he was back in his office
E
He was writing them talking points for the sermon next week
Bm A
He was writing about forgiveness and rolling with the punches
E
If you catch one on the chin you just gotta turn the other cheek
[Verse 6]
---------------------
Bm A
His phone started ringing he was busy singing
E
Some old gospel hymn he learned from sweet sweet Valerie
Bm A
He checked who was calling he knew something was off
E
When he saw the sheriff's office on the caller ID
[Verse 7]
---------------------
Bm A
He picked up the call and his heart started dropping
E
He don't get this way often but he's gritting his teeth
Bm A
Someone broke into the parsonage the neighbors heard the poppin
E
Before the lady finished he was down on his knees
[Verse 8]
---------------------
Bm A
She told him they caught him, two broken locks and
E
Three little bodies and his sweet sweet Valerie
[Verse 9]
---------------------
Bm A
Well the preacher man, he's got a gun, he don't wanna hurt no one
E
But he believed that Jesus needed him to leave a bullet in a man's head
Bm A
He knows that come the risen sun it'll all be said and done
E
He ain't gonna make it right tonight if he don't paint the walls red
[Verse 10]
---------------------
Bm A
He puts the steel to his own head, two words is all he said
E
Tears streaming down his cheek as he let out a Jesus wept
Bm A
What the hell is all this for, lifeless body hits the floor
E
Soul is headed home sweet home to his three boys
[Bridge]
---------------------
Bm A E
And his sweet sweet Valerie
Bm A E
Oh his sweet Valerie, ohh
