"Mission Temple Fireworks Stand" lyrics - SAWYER BROWN

I saw a black man with a bible
And a sparkler in his hand.
He was holding a tent revival
And running a firework stand.

He said the end of the world is coming
So you better get on your knees
Today bottle rockets are two for one,
But salvation's free.

He said I quit my job at a big church
Where the milk and money flowed,
To sell cherry bombs for Jesus
In a tent beside the road.

I ain't in it for the money,
Most cars pass on by
But I pay the rent on New Years
And the fourth of July.

Here at the Holy Ghost,
Big Bang Theory, Pentecostal,
Fire and Brimstone,
Mission Temple Firework Stand.

He said fireworks are dangerous
They can blow up in your face
So you better read the instructions
Light the fuse and get away.

These things are made in China
So it's easy to see,
How a man who worships Buddha
Ain't got no guarantee.

This is the Holy Ghost,
Big Bang Theory, Pentecostal,
Fire and Brimstone,
Mission Temple Firework Stand.

He said everything I'm selling
Is all going up in smoke.
This world is like an atom bomb,
It's ready to explode.

When the trumpet sounds and The Lord comes back
I promise you one thing
I'll be a human bottle rocket
And I'll go out with a bang.

I'll leave this, Holy Ghost,
Big Bang Theory, Pentecostal,
Fire and Brimstone,
Mission Temple Firework Stand...
