John Roland Wood Lyrics - Singles - Deryl Dodd

Go tell the sheriff, John Roland Wood's found Jesus 

Now he's living at the foot of the cross 

He testified on the main drag this evening 

Said he's gonna spread the gospel to the lost 

The meanest sinner to ever live and breathe 

Said he's been clean and sober for a week 

He said his soul is not troubled anymore 

He hocked his gun and gave the money to the Lord 

Go tell the sheriff, John Roland Wood's found Jesus 

At a tent revival right outside of town 

Oh, what a friend this town has in Jesus 

If you look at what John Roland has tore down 

Before the spirit touched his soul 

He kept the streets signs full of bullet holes 

Back then when he was raising hell 

You knew he was coming by the blue lights on his tail, look out 

Go tell the sheriff, John Roland Wood's found Jesus 

Now that water tower must be full of wine 

Let not your weary heart be troubled 

Turn your women and your children back outside 

What will we do on Friday nights 

Without John Roland shootin' out the lights 

Carry that ol' jukebox away 

He traded B-9 for 'Amazing Grace' 

Go tell the sheriff, John Roland Wood's found Jesus 

Now he is living at 

I said he's living at the foot of 

He's living at the foot of the cross, oh yeah
