EVANGELISTICO

Heading east on highway 6

Through the heart of puppy mill country

The road is straight, the land is flat

Broken up by the occasional silo and church steeple

 

So many churches' stand along the way

The Church of the Brethren stands out today

Praise the Lord and pass the snakes

I noticed that there's a gun sale at the church this Saturday

 

The preacher clinches his worn out Bible tight

He raises it high his knuckles white with rage

The evening of the harvest is at hand

Give back 10% of what you never really had

 

This is the land of rain on the scarecrow

This is the land of blood on the plow

This is the bread basket baked to Fox News

This is the kingdom of Jerry Farwell

 

From the land of Goshen to Wappanee

To the farms of Hebron to Ligoneer

Amish horse and buggies clamper down the road

Shared by 18 wheelers carrying a heavy load

 

Driving east on Highway 6

It's a grand grand grand army highway

For salesman passing through too cheap to pay tolls

For truckers too hauling too heavy avoiding the scales

 

This is the land of R.O.C.K. in the U.S.A

Jack and Diane, hot dogs and hamburgers

I've been driving this highway for 2 hours now

I can't remember any little pink houses along the way

 

Welcome to Kendallville ends my journey

Churches have been outnumbered by fast food chains

Praise the Lord and pass the malt shakes

Hot fries and a good sermon are kind of the same
