Somewhere inside them back Florida pines
There's a town with a Choctaw name
There's a little white church and a real tight curve
On the edge of a field full of grain
Yeah, the preacher was a stand-up man
Shakin' hands every Sunday morning at the door
He loved his congregation but he ran an operation
Selling more than the word of the Lord
And he called it holy water
He called it holy water, yeah
He bought a brand-new Lincoln
Had a couple deacons thinkin' it was more than he could afford
They knew something was up when he was shuttin' his trunk
At the church around 1:00 in the morning
When he was outta sight, they snuck around inside
And found a door leadin' under the ground
They popped the lock on the latch
Walked down and flashed their lights and guess what they found
A cellar full of water
No one knows where it comes from buddy
But you can find it anywhere from Bama to Kentucky
Got the whole damn southeast side of the country
Lining up to pay top dollar
The jar tops twist when the sun starts settin'
Burns like hell, gets ya high like heaven
And Lord have mercy if they knew where they was getting that holy water
Well, the deacons pulled up to his house in a truck
With the proof all crystal clear
He tried to play it off but he knew he was caught
So he said, "Brothers, listen here
You can call the law or you can keep the secret
I'll cut you in and we can call it even"
Next Sunday mornin' 'round 10 o'clock
There was two more Lincolns in the parking lot
No one knows where it comes from buddy
But you can find it anywhere from Bama to Kentucky
Got the whole damn southeast side of the country
Lining up to pay top dollar
The jar tops twist when the sun starts settin'
Burns like hell, gets ya high like heaven
And Lord have mercy if they knew where they was getting that holy water
Now there's new stained glass, new pews front to back
Nobody even asked no question
And a sign out front with some letters readin'
"John, Chapter 2, Verse 1 through 11"
