Jail and Jesus
His old callused hands
Grabbed ahold of that man
Drunk
Behind the wheel of that car
He drug him to the ground
The people gathered round
He didn't mean to take it that far
Grandad lost his wife
So that man lost his life
As he reached for the hand that redeems us
Ten years in that cell
Between heaven and hell
Caught between jail and Jesus
He found that demon in the bottle
Daddy drank his last swallow
Drunk
He hit mama again
Yeah the neighbors called the cops
Tried to fight but he lost
Behind bars till God only knows when
There's a price to be paid
For the hands that he laid
Making deals with the One that redeems us
As he lies in that cell
Between heaven and hell
Caught between jail and Jesus
Rebel blood runs through my veins
I chose not to end up that way
But one thing I've learned
My prayers are still heard
I hold on to the One that redeems us
I walk the line
But I stray time to time
Livin' between jail and Jesus
Livin' between jail and Jesus
Grabbed ahold of that man
Drunk
Behind the wheel of that car
He drug him to the ground
The people gathered round
He didn't mean to take it that far
Grandad lost his wife
So that man lost his life
As he reached for the hand that redeems us
Ten years in that cell
Between heaven and hell
Caught between jail and Jesus
He found that demon in the bottle
Daddy drank his last swallow
Drunk
He hit mama again
Yeah the neighbors called the cops
Tried to fight but he lost
Behind bars till God only knows when
There's a price to be paid
For the hands that he laid
Making deals with the One that redeems us
As he lies in that cell
Between heaven and hell
Caught between jail and Jesus
Rebel blood runs through my veins
I chose not to end up that way
But one thing I've learned
My prayers are still heard
I hold on to the One that redeems us
I walk the line
But I stray time to time
Livin' between jail and Jesus
Livin' between jail and Jesus
