Lyrics

Jehovah's' Blues
Zan Cantwell

Lord God Jehovah tossed in his sleep, losing track of each slaughtered sheep
Out on the interstate filled with pride, Satan waited for the bus to arrive
Wont you go down Moses lead my horses to drink, you can make 'em swim boy but don't let him sink

Oh Lord, cant you see, just how the water can heal me
It's good for the body, and it soothes the soul
So let that river, wont you let that river roll.....
My blues away

The great pretender took a seat in the game said "deal me in boys, there'll be no one to blame"
Keep those hands coming I got money to burn, but know your fate rests on each card that’s turned
Ante up fellas souls will churn tonight, but you better fold now if your conscience aint right

Chorus;

John the Baptist, well he had no shoes, drowning slowly in King Herod’s blues
A life long victim of circumstance, and now the door prize at some local dance
Relief arrived from the throne to find, he'd kept his promise, but left his head behind

Chorus;

Saint Peter bragged “I could never deny” His master said “Son, you will three times”
No one among you is made of stone, your fall is certain should you stand alone
That tower crumbled when the rooster squawked, yet God built his church on that rock

Chorus;
