Still Got That Look

Heard this on KPIG and laughed. Couldn't find the singalong lyrics anywhere online, so transcribed them myself. Enjoyez vous!

Still Got That Look

By Jim Ringer

From the Album “The Best of Jim Ringer: The Band of Jesse James”

Lyrics transcribed by Piet

His life was a shambles, every day was a gamble,

Orange Sunshine burned his mind up long ago.

Have a listen, he learned, and any way he turned,

He found out was the wrong way to go.

Now he wears shiny shoes, he swears he’s found truth,

And all he’s learned up to now has been lies,

He used to take acid, and now he loves god,

But he’s still got that look in his eyes.

Every day he spends hours tryin’ to pin flowers,

On folks who ain’t got time to smell.

And he tries to explain, if you miss your plane,

Well, that’s better than your burnin’ in hell.

That old preacher believes it’s the workin’s of Jesus,

That old preacher just don’t realize,

He used to take acid, and now he loves god,

But he’s still got that look in his eyes.

His mama back home kinda wishes he’d phone,

But his dad hopes he don’t call today.

The last time he called was sometime last fall,

For money and to beg them to pray,

Well the church had his money, and his clothes are still funny,

And them new shoes ain’t even his size,

He used to take acid, and now he loves god,

But he’s still got that look in his eyes.

Yeah,

He used to take acid, and now he loves god,

But he’s still got that look in his eyes.
