Lyrics

(Country Boy) Goin? Home To Jesus
Words and Music By Neil Silverman
C-1981-2003

1) Well I?m out playin? the fool now
I lost all my cool now
wonderin?how I ever got in this mess

2) Just a plain country boy
Went down to the city
Cause I heard claim that they had the best

3) Well the sights and the sounds
And the lights nearly drowned out
The music that played in my ear

4) I?m feelin? kinda hazy I almost went crazy
From the vice the crime and the fear
5) But I know a way it?s a laid back pace
It?s a calm and a warm atmosphere
6) He?s called the good shepherd
And I can hear the angels
Singin? their joy song of cheer

(Chorus)
Cause I?m goin? home to Jesus
I?ve got to believe him
He?s the only one who makes any sense
I?m goin? home to Jesus
And I?ve got good reason
His true love goes on to no end
I?m goin home to Jesus
I can taste his sweet freedom
And never will I leave him again

7) Well I met a girl named blue
She said that she?d be true
But when all my money was through

8) I turned to pills tryin? to pay all the bills
She left me and I never new

9) Well the booze and the parties
Left me so hungry
The missions had to help me out too
10) I know the good Lord forgives sinners
Cause I sure ain?t no winner
And he?s gonna make me brand new

(Repeat Chorus)
(Spoken)
Well this boy sure got him self in a heap of trouble
I guess you can see I recon
Now we?re gonna take a peak behind the scenes
So that you don?t make the same mistake that I did

11) Well I hope you can see
Just what has befell me
Is a plan of the master artist

12) You know he?s pictured a devil
With a pick and a red tail
But believe me friends that?s just a jest

13) He?s a mean old keen foe
And every thing he knows
His subjects are sure to confess
14) But I?m one who found out
So I?m gonna turn now
And go home and find me some rest (Repeat Chorus) End
