Story Behind the Song
No matter what they think of that no account man down at the church he knows the Jesus knows the real proof and he just closes his eyes and prays anytime of day.
Lyrics
Close my Eyes
Words and Music by Sam Redman
Well, I never been much on religion.
I know what they think of me down at the church.
But I made the right decision,
in a sixty-seven pickup on the way to Fort Worth.
Well, I always been the guy who
believed that song about the Spirit in the sky.
It don't matter what they say, anytime of day,
I just close my eyes, close my eyes and pray.
Well, that six-pack sittin' on my front seat tells,
most folks I'm a headed straight to hell.
I've done my share of wayward livin'.
But, I believe even cowboys can be forgivin'.
Cause, I always been the guy who
believed that song about the Spirit in the sky.
It don't matter what they say, anytime of day,
I just close my eyes, close my eyes and pray.
Well, I'm a guy who can party all night,
others may think I don't have the right.
Some folks think that it just can't be
I got a feelin' God likes these ole boots and jeans.
My camel non-filters don't make me no friends.
Those folks say I'll pay for my sins.
Well I guess that Jesus knows the real proof,
cause I believe in Love and a tellin the truth.
Well, I always been the guy who
believed that song about the Spirit in the sky.
It don't matter what they say, anytime of day,
I just close my eyes, close my eyes and pray
Yeah, I always been the guy who
believed that song about the Spirit in the sky.
It don't matter what they say, anytime of day,
I just close my eyes, close my eyes and pray.
I just close my eyes, close my eyes and pray
