The Hal and Lula Trail
William Beach © 2003
He was a polyester preacher, from a bootheel baptist town.
She was a fallen angel on the spiritual rebound
When Hal first met Lula, he was preachin on the wages of sin.
She left her job in the topless bar, and went off to follow him.
On the Hal and Lula Trail, On the Hal and Lula Trail
Truth and Justice will prevail
On the Hal and Lula, On the Hal and Lula Trail
On the Hal and Lula Trail
Well the Lord helps those that help themselves
they would often say.
and praise the Lord if tons of wealth, didn't come their way.
So I guess it was a shock, on that sunny summer day
when the faithfull found the church doors locked and watched the caddy speed away.
Chorus: (repeat)
Last verse:
So if you think that this is the end
of our little tale
you better pay a visit friend
to the Hazard county jail
For it was Hal's ambition
to be seen on TV
but America's most wanted was
bad publicity
Chorus:(repeat)
