Jesus In A Nashville Jail Lyrics & Chords By Moe Bandy
I packed my old blue jeans
With all my cotton field dreams
And rode my mama's prayers to Tennessee
With daddy's old church guitar
I was a smoke-filled barroom star
But the bible got the best
And the blues got the rest of me
Every night seems like forever
Sleeping in the wine and the weather
Looking for a way to make a day worth living through
I knew was going wrong
But everything I had going was gone
And Lord there ain't nothing to men
When nothing won't do
Down on my luck
Down on my knees
Everybody's down on me
Down on the floor of a cold and lonely cell
Somewhere below my pride
There was a broken man inside
Looking for Jesus in a Nashville jail
I've got a few more days to go
Cause we got to reap what we sew
But I can feel a change on the inside of me
Now my mind is free and clean
I got a new love song to sing
Now I pool my time with a man from Galilee
Down on my luck….
