Johnny, Jones & Jesus

Mama I need a remedy
To get over a boy born to deceive
Didn’t see it coming never thought he’d leave
Mama I need a remedy

(Mamma said) Get out Cash and the Possum too
Let em sing away those lovesick blues
Don’t forget about the man upstairs
Just like me and he’s always there
That’s three good men, I know will treat you right
Let Johnny, Jones & Jesus get you through the night

Mama I don’t want to be alone
And hear the devil whispering what I did wrong
I’m fighting back tears trying to be strong
Mama I don’t want to be alone

Repeat Chorus

That steel guitar and me 
Cried in perfect harmony
I felt my heartache in their songs
With my new friends there
His memory didn’t have a prayer
Mama was right all along

Repeat Chorus
