(steve dean/billy montana)

i used to believe what money could bring
was worth more than anything else
but all that changed when i had a dream
and i got a good look at myself
i stood face to face with the ghost of my past
and the spirit what was to come
and they made it clear that one day i´d have to
answer for what i had done
and i saw what i´d become

the choices you make
the chances you take
they´ll follow you all of your life
i´m just tryin´ to live so when i die
the preacher won´t have to lie

i ain´t no prophet and i ain´t no saint
and i ain´t made no great sacrifice
i just keep tryin´ to carry my weight
i keep trying to do what is right
and it´s hard to do right sometimes

the choices you make
the chances you take
they´ll follow you all of your life
i´m just tryin´ to live so when i die
the preacher won´t have to lie

the choices you make
the chances you take
they´ll follow you all of your life
i´m just tryin´ to live so when i die
the preacher won´t have to lie

oh, the preacher won´t have to lie
