The Lack of Jesus Blues
By Gary Rutz

I woke up this morning but I was not alive
Yeow, I woke up this morning but I was not alive
Something seems to be missin’ here
Don’t know what’s happened to this life of mine
My wife and kids done left me, left me here alone
My wife and kids done left me,
But they should be back ‘round noon
They done gone off to church and I just stayed here all alone
My wife said, "Honey, you sure lookin’ sad"
My wife said, "Honey, you sure lookin’ sad"
She said, "I think I know what you need
Take this Bible and read it, it’s something you need real bad"

Then she said, "I know exactly what’s wrong with you"
Yeow, she said, "Honey, I know exactly what’s wrong with you"
I ain’t no expert but I’d say
You got the "Lack o’ Jesus Blues"
Now let this song be a warnin’, a simple warnin to you
Let this song be a warnin, just a little warnin’ to you
Cause that empty spot in your life
Could be the Lack of Jesus Blues"
