Preacher Man
The Driver Era Lyrics

Hey Mr. Preacher man
The singer is addressing a religious leader or authority figure who may be able to help him change his ways and prevent him from losing love again.

I've been playing with a heart like a violin
The singer has been careless and reckless with someone's heart, like a musician playing a stringed instrument without considering its value.

I've been stumbling through the door after 6AM
The singer has been behaving recklessly, possibly drinking or partying late into the night and coming home in the early morning hours.

Fix my soul so I don't lose a love again (ooh, ooh, ooh)
The singer is asking for help to heal his soul or change his ways so that he does not lose love again.

Can you help me get away from this life of sin?
The singer does not want to continue living a life of recklessness and bad decisions and is asking for help to change his ways.

Blow a hundred miles an hour
The singer is driving very fast, possibly to escape his problems or reach someone he cares about.

And the wind is in my hair
The singer is driving with the windows down, feeling the wind in his hair, and possibly trying to clear his head or distract himself from his troubles.

But my mouth is just too damn dry to utter out a prayer
The singer may be feeling guilty or ashamed of his behavior and wants to pray for forgiveness, but he is unable to do so due to his dry mouth, possibly from drinking or anxiety.

And the radio is blasting
The singer has the radio turned up loud, possibly to drown out his own thoughts or emotions.

Yeah, it's keeping me awake
The loud music is helping the singer stay alert and focused while driving and may be preventing him from falling asleep or losing his resolve.

I'm down on my knees, yeah I'm paranoid
The singer is feeling anxious, fearful, and possibly guilty about his past behavior and is asking for help and forgiveness.

Don't wanna repeat what I did before
The singer does not want to make the same mistakes or hurt someone he cares about again and is asking for guidance to prevent this from happening.

I wanna believe that there's something more
The singer wants to find hope and meaning in his life and is seeking help to do so.
