John The Baptist - Randall Bramblett

JOHN THE BAPTIST AT THE NOWHERE BAR

SAY WAKE UP JOHN YOU DON’T KNOW WHERE YOU ARE

YOU GOT A LONG DISTANCE STARE

FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE WELL

YOU MIGHT ME AN ANGEL BUT YOU LOOK LIKE HELL

HE SAID I’M LOOKIN FOR A MAN ABOUT HALF YOUR SIZE

HE DON’T SAY NOTHIN BUT HE’S SANCTIFIED

OH JOHN JOHN JOHN LOOKING FOR/WAITING ON JESUS

WELL EVERYTHING’S DIFFERENT BUT NOTHING’S CHANGED

WE’RE LIVIN OUT HERE IN THE WHISKEY RAIN

AND WE STILL NEED SHELTER FROM THE GRINDING STORM

AND WE STIILL NEED LOVE TO KEEP US WARM

HE SAID I’M LOOKIN FOR SOMEBODY WHO’S A CHILD OF GOD

NOW STAND BACK BABY I’M A LIGHTENING ROD

OH JOHN JOHN JOHN LOOKIN FOR JESUS

ALL YOU ANGEL HEADED HIPSTERS WITH THE GINSBERG HOWL

ALL YOU CROOKED LIP CON MEN ON THE PROWL

WHY DON’T YOU STOP YOUR LYIN AND LISTEN TO ME

THERE’S A HOLY MAN SITTIN IN THE BLACK GUM TREE

HE SAID I’M LOOKIN FOR SOMEBODY WHO’S HARD TO FIND

A KIND HEARTED MAN WITH A ONE TRACK MIND

OH JOHN JOHN JOHN WAITIN ON JESUS
