He was an old school gentleman
Loved the Lord and held the door
I was a heart blowing in the wind
Oh he swore I was what he was praying for
We were a Sunday morning song
A picture painted in stained glass light
My sanctuary in the storm
Oh I figured it was different this time
I was looking for an honest man
He was looking for the right left hand
To settle down at 22
Watch him preach from the front pew
I just wanted to have a good time
But he set his standards a little too high
I was looking for the love of my life
But he was looking for a pastor's wife
I've got things I need to do
Dreams to chase, the rest can wait
Would have made it work if he wanted me to
Oh but that would take a different kind of faith
I was looking for an honest man
He was looking for the right left hand
To settle down at 22
Watch him preach from the front pew
I just wanted to have a good time
But he set his standards a little too high
I was looking for the love of my life
But he was looking for a pastor's wife
Maybe I should thank him cause he really did me a favor
The Lord's got better plans for me than to be a good homemaker
I was just looking for an honest man
He was looking for the right left hand
To settle down at 22
Watch him preach from the front pew
I just wanted to have a good time
But he set his standards a little too high
I was looking for the love of my life
But he was looking for a pastor's wife
