Story Behind the Song
What we do in this life we answer for in the next...chose sides with caution
Lyrics
Jehovah's' Blues
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 horse to drink, you can make him swim but don't let him sink
Oooh, 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, 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 turned
Ante up fellas souls'll burn tonight, but you better fold now if the conscience aint right
Oooh, 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, let that river roll...my blues away
John the Baptist he had no shoes, and now drowning slowly
in King Herads' 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
Oooh, 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, let that river roll...my blues away
William Bonney took his guns to school, had his own version of the golden rule
Boys will be boys is what his neighbor said, Billy just grinned and
Put a bullet in his head
Times have changed, rough waters ahead, raise the wages of sin, but be just as dead
Oooh, 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, let that river roll...my blues away
