Tapes Of Jesus And An Old Guitar

(Verse 1)
I been runnin’ on fumes and bad decisions,
Payphone prayers and broke transmissions,
Ain’t seen a bed in a couple of days,
Just a dashboard cross and the radio haze.
Got a motel Bible, missin’ half of John,
And a Gibson case that keeps hangin’ on.
(Chorus)
Tapes of Jesus and an old guitar,
Playin’ for gas in some neon bar,
I ain’t rich, but I’m still alive,
Got a busted soul that somehow survives,
If heaven’s listenin’, I ain’t that far,
From tapes of Jesus and an old guitar.
(Verse 2)
Pawned my boots for a tank of hope,
Tied my dreams to a frayin’ rope,
Ain’t no shame in a half-full cup,
You drink what’s left and you don’t give up.
The world takes more than it ever gives,
But I still got the song that lets me live.
(Chorus)
Tapes of Jesus and an old guitar,
Playin’ for gas in some neon bar,
I ain’t rich, but I’m still alive,
Got a busted soul that somehow survives,
If heaven’s listenin’, I ain’t that far,
From tapes of Jesus and an old guitar.
(Bridge)
Mama said, “Boy, don’t lose your fight,”
But she never saw these motel nights.
Guess the Lord don’t mind a sinner’s tune,
He just hums along beneath the moon.
(Final Chorus)
Tapes of Jesus and an old guitar,
Dreams in the trunk of a beat-up car,
I ain’t found grace, but I’m on the way,
Still singin’ truth where the lost ones play,
If I don’t make heaven, I’ll still leave a scar,
With tapes of Jesus and an old guitar.

good write. not sure what Tapes of Jesus is reference to. is that the Bible on cassette or something else i'm not aware of?
I like that Suno got Waylon to sing this. 😁 Sounds good.

Another funny story back then , I send a song to a LA label . They told me we don't play Satans music
