Go tell the Sheriff

John Roland Woods found Jesus

Now he's livin' at the foot of the cross

He testified on the main drag this evening

said his gonna spread the gospel to the lost

The meanest sinner to ever live and breathe

said hes been clean and sober for a weak

he said his soul was not troubled anymore

he hocked his gun and gave the money to the lord

Go tell the Sheriff

John Roland Woods 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 had torn down

before the spirit touched his soul

he left the street signs full of bullet holes

back then when he was raising hell

you knew he was comin by the blue lights on his tail

Go tell the Sheriff

John Roland Woods 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 would we do on friday night

without john roland shootin out the lights

carry that old jukebox away

he traded mean guy for amazing grace

Go tell the Sheriff

John Roland Woods found Jesus

Now he's livin' at the foot of the cross
