Circuit Rider - Tinsley Ellis

I’m a circuit rider

Go from town to town

Healing people’s sickness

When I make my rounds

Call me the preacher

Listening will do you well

Desperately they call me

To teach them all about sin

If I don’t get you well

You don’t have to toss the court

I know you got a burden

Delivery for you

I’m a circuit rider

Good book in a case

I work in darkest hours

Nighttime is my domain

I don’t need no fire

A brimstone that’s for sure

When it comes to loneliness

You know I’ve got the cure

Just another soul

In another town

There’s a voice in the wilderness

Listen to it now

If you don’t see the preacher

It might just do you in

To live a youthful loneliness

Teach you all about sin

You don’t get with the preacher

It might just mean a curse

One thing I can promise you

It’ll go from bad to worse

I’m a circuit rider

I’ll leave before the dawn

My work is done here

I’m off to another town
