Angry Johnny And The Killbillies - Jezebel lyrics
[Angry Johnny And The Killbillies - Jezebel lyrics]
Got a beer in my hand
And an ache in my heart
And one foot in the grave
I'm fallin' apart
I'm a little more than afraid
And the Devil is laughin' callin' my name
Says "It's time to come on home"
Got no one to thank but I know who to blame
Didn't get here on my own
For a while I was on top of the world
Like king up on his throne
But I turned to hell and my Jezebel
Up and left me here alone
Now I spend my days in a whiskey haze
An old scratch pulls my strings
Won't let me die when I ask him why
I hear dark angels sing
Wanna mend my ways but it's too late
And the Lord don't hear me anymore
All the love in my heart's turned to hate
And the Devil's knockin' at my door
Got a gun in my hand an an ache in my heart
And no tears left to cry
Got a ring on my hand and a promise of love
Is gold just worthless lies?
Lord have mercy on my soul
This fool wants to be saved
But Jezebel has left me cold
With one foot in the grave
Wanna mend my ways but it's too late
And an ache in my heart
And one foot in the grave
I'm fallin' apart
I'm a little more than afraid
And the Devil is laughin' callin' my name
Says "It's time to come on home"
Got no one to thank but I know who to blame
Didn't get here on my own
For a while I was on top of the world
Like king up on his throne
But I turned to hell and my Jezebel
Up and left me here alone
Now I spend my days in a whiskey haze
An old scratch pulls my strings
Won't let me die when I ask him why
I hear dark angels sing
Wanna mend my ways but it's too late
And the Lord don't hear me anymore
All the love in my heart's turned to hate
And the Devil's knockin' at my door
Got a gun in my hand an an ache in my heart
And no tears left to cry
Got a ring on my hand and a promise of love
Is gold just worthless lies?
Lord have mercy on my soul
This fool wants to be saved
But Jezebel has left me cold
With one foot in the grave
Wanna mend my ways but it's too late
