[Verse 1]
Old mechanic man's waitin' for an '85 Chevy to break down
Turn that engine light off so he can keep the ones at home on
Bartender needs to pour a drink
For a lonely soul by an empty seat
This guitar needs my wanderin' heart to sing this song

[Chorus]
Like headaches need hangovers and gypsies need a road
Cussin' needs a tongue to talk and these cigarettes need smoke
To keep this world spinnin' and sinners in them seats
Yeah, preachers need people like me

[Verse 2]
It wouldn't be an extra ten in the plate whilе the choir was singin'
And that extra piecе of bread, it wouldn't need breakin'
If I woulda just walked away
From a whiskey shot in a desperate place
I wouldn't be back here, hard as I can, prayin'

[Chorus]
Like headaches need hangovers and gypsies need a road
Cussin' needs a tongue to talk and these cigarettes need smoke
To keep this world spinnin' and sinners in them seats
Yeah, preachers need people like me
Oh, like me
[Bridge]
If there wasn't any wrong to right
Then why would we believe?
So preachers need people

[Chorus]
Like headaches need hangovers and gypsies need a road
Cussin' needs a tongue to talk and these cigarettes need smoke
To keep this world spinnin' and sinners in them seats
Oh, preachers need people
Preachers need people
Preachers need people like me

[Outro]
Mm, like me
Like me
