One day a song writer I know posted a lead on his facebook page. "So the bartender says to Jesus..." I was intrigued and played with it. This is what I came up with. I really like it...I hear a Johnny Cash sort of feel in it. I thought I'd share.
Jesus
So the bartender says to Jesus
I see the bottom of every glass
And reached a sober consensus
Tipsy dreams don’t come to pass
What do you have that’s different?
What is in such a name?
I’ve heard of your fame,
But life’s just a game
One unholy game
So Jesus says to the bartender
I walk in the muck on this street
My name is travel-stained and tender
I am all that you will need
Everyone wanders with longing, voiceless with our need
What if hope was just in a name
Just in a name as he
