JOHNNY 3:16

I really don’t know how to tell his story
They call him Johnny 3:16
Rolled up here fulla rag top glory
Man that’s a lot of machine
Sure you didn’t know he’s from Louisiana
Had a little trouble there
Got caught out of time on the second line
Lost another gig on the square
Ten High Tiger sweat Tijuana Bible
Shaking like the hands of a clown
Outta whack pig feet setting on the counter
He had to put the nightmare down

Johnny 3:16
Johnny 3:16
He run a fast machine for the Nazarene
God Almighty gave his son
So you could drive a limousine
Johnny 3:16

Now he read about some gals in the Holy Bible
Man, he want a chick like that
Talking up a storm like a Holy Roller
Cooking with the bacon fat
Get a little house down in Alabama
Have a little baby girl
Wait till it rains at the County Fair
Take her on the Tilt-A-Whirl
Half shot overkill sleeping on the ceiling
He made a lot a stupid sound
Jitter bug cat fight jelly in the ocean
Had to put the devil down

Johnny 3:16
Johnny 3:16
He run a fast machine for the Nazarene
God Almighty gave his son
So you could drive a limousine
Johnny 3:16

"Now you might be out there by your radio this morning in your home,
your automobile and if you just simply bow your head and say God I'm a sinner and I don't wanna go to hell and I want you to save me then he'll do it."
