[00:04.150]On a lowly night like any other, in a place I'm known to go
[00:13.100]To croon a song to a patient throng of folks that you might know
[00:21.660]I sang the songs of hard times, hard feelings and hardened hearts
[00:30.100]But nothing seemed to grab them until a patron he remarked:
[00:39.060]Won't you play it in
[00:41.380]G for Jesus
[00:44.780]And let your holy spirit show
[00:49.500]Keep your pains and your midnight trains
[00:53.110]And onto higher ground you'll go
[00:57.980]Don't sing the songs about whiskey
[01:00.980]And I'm so lonesome that mama tried
[01:06.380]Play it in G for Jesus and you might leave this bar alive
[01:14.330]
[01:23.140]So I swallowed hard and scanned the bar
[01:28.100]For an exit I might tread
[01:32.420]It occurred that I might could see the light
[01:36.390]If it meant I could earn my bread
[01:41.020]I strummed this chord to the waiting lord
[01:45.540]And fixed him in my gaze
[01:49.380]And no minor key escaped me
[01:53.580]While old Gabrielle's trumpet played
[01:59.060]And I played it in
[02:01.710]G for Jesus
[02:04.420]I let my holy spirit show
[02:09.460]I kept my pains and my midnight trains
[02:12.990]And onto higher ground I'll go
[02:17.990]I won't sing the songs about whiskey
[02:21.100]And I'm so lonesome that mama tried
[02:26.380]I'll play it in G for Jesus
[02:29.620]Though none of us leave this world alive
[02:34.780]No you won't leave this world alive
[02:39.020]None of us leave this world alive
