Lyrics;

this friend came down to see me
he brought his family
he's standing right in front of me
but he sure looked different to me

I said John, what is your game?
you're standing right in front of me
but you don't seem quite the same

you see he used to drink me under the table
smoke those cigarettes
and he could tell a dirty story
that would make the ladies fret

I said John, what is your game
you're standing right in front of me
but you don't seem quite the same

he said I did me some reading
a book or two or three
I looked up into heaven
and Jesus talked to me
and he said John
look at what you're doing
you better come to accept me
and knock off all that drinkin'
smokin' and screwing

I said John, you must be putting me on
you're the last person I ever thought
would give his life to God

you see he used to drink me under the table
smoke those cigarettes
and he could tell a nasty story
that would make the ladies sweat
and I said John, you must be putting me on
you're the last person I ever thought
would give his life to God.

I've had other friends they've turned to Christianity
they quote to me some scripture and they look perplexed at me
and I just say whoa you just hold on
cause I'm sure when he's ready
God will talk to Jim like he did John
yea I'm sure when he's ready
the Lord will speak to Jim like he did John
