[Verse 1] 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
[Verse 2] 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
