Reverent Jones
Now is it true what they say
That Reverent Jones never worked a day in his life?
(He was a man of make-believe
Who was just too cool to mention)
And folks will tell you
He had one suit, two guitar cases and three wives
(On 34th street, he was the preacher
For a streetwise congregation)
He said
'Jesus is my spiritual addiction
(And I like it)
Listen to the truth and not the fiction'
This is the Reverent Jones' story - and it could be yours too
Now why in the world
Would anybody turn to the Reverent Jones?
(Pull up a chair on the sidewalk
If you think you've got the nerve)
They say that he was dead behind the eyes
From the very moment he was born
(So could it be - the way that he
Always got what he deserved?)
He said
'Jesus is my spiritual addiction
(And I like it)
Listen to the truth and not the fiction'
