lyrics

I'm getting drunk for Jesus

comes a time you have to make a stand for the things you love
strike me down with a lightening bolt
hit me with all you got
a man can do as he damned well pleases
where’s this all going to lead us
we're getting drunk for Jesus
oh Lord

I pray to Mother Mary give me wings to fly
with the angels in the sky
man born alive I couldn't resist
you can shred my little heart to pieces
if you be my whiskey priestess
we're getting drunk every day for Jesus

we'll have such a fine old time
a rag and a flame and a bottle of turpentine
spark me up and we'll blow this world clean to blazes
cos we've been cursed with a God almighty thirst
we're busy getting drunk for Jesus
for the Lord

I'm just an old school playboy
good time girls bring me comfort and joy
the devotion of my shrine is infamous
but faith you know so deep, I got a reputation to keep
cos every day I'm busy drunk for Jesus

five bloody marys and ten how's your fathers
argue with me and I’ll run you round the houses
to your sins we all are witness
the devil is my advocate
tell ‘em on judgement day I’ll be a little late
cos I'll be busy getting drunk for the Lord Jesus

The Desert Turkeys Folkestone, UK

The Desert Turkey's set comprises original songs/instrumentals; we are predominately a performing group.
The trio's intentions are to deliver music that is spirited and lyrical. Our playing is measured by a certain gritty, restrained melancholy - the music aims for a dynamic that is filmic and atmospheric.
Julian Whitfield: double bass, Bruce Allen: drums, Bernard Eveleigh: Spanish guitar/ vocals. ... more
