DRINK RING JESUS Well I thought that I saw Jesus soaked In a drink ring on some magazine And man what’s wrong with me I don’t know Cause I’m too damn young to start seeing things Or so I’m told Well they’re talking on some TV show Bout how it’s been a year since they changed everything And man what’s wrong with me I still don’t know Feels like I should care but I just stare at the screen In my work clothes Chorus: Maybe I’m only growing old But I been thinking bout changing things And if God should save my soul Then I’ll need my drink ring Jesus To come rescue me If I’m going home Well it’s late and the light of the TV’s on me Hear strange voices, in foreign tongues, incessant ancient chants Always trying to find strength in my time of need And I was looking in this glass when the answer Was right there underneath And I thought something was wrong with me Something wrong with the way my life had been cast I been looking for signs and things When they were everywhere even under my glass In my drink ring Chorus Words and music by Stephen Simmons © copyright secured All rights reserved

gracias my friend

Your song and your tone reminded me of:
If I Go, I'm Goin - Gregory Alan Isakov with Aoife O'Donovan & Chris Thile .
I think you have a sensational sensitivity and talent. Nurture it and take care of it.

Thanks for the kind words friend. I'm not familiar with that one. I think I know his name from a booking agent in Europe we shared? I did some shows with Aoife O'Donovan's old band, Crooked Still, ages ago in the UK. Always a fan of her stuff. We'll have to check that one out.
