Tom Scullin - Charlie Jones lyrics

Charlie Jones, feeling lonely hasn't had a friend in quite awhile and he doesn't know what's wrong but the day seems awful long another minute and another mile He spends his days living life through T.V. but lately he's been getting kind of bored and he doesn't know what's wrong but the day seems awful long it's almost time that Charlie found the lord "1st CHORUS" Reverend Ray, Jesus Calling How many souls did we save today I've given you the word but the people haven't heard So I think we'll have to find a better way Yes, I think we'll have to find a better way Now Charlie Jones, changing channels pa**es by the man all dressed in black and he doesn't know what's wrong but the feeling's awful strong and so's the hand that turns the channel back "2nd CHORUS" Reverend Ray, Jesus Calling we found the way to make them pray just put you on T.V. for all the world to see but we'll need some money for the stations pay yes, we'll need some money for the stations pay Now Charlie Jones sends a letter enclosing twenty dollars for the thrill of hearing that man's song asking him to come along it was better than taking any pill Now Charlie Jones has the gospel and Jesus has the good old Reverend Ray but Ray thinks something's wrong cause this week's been awful long it's him and Jesus up against King Kong "3rd CHORUS" Reverend Ray, Jesus Calling how many souls did we save today from what I understand, it wasn't what we planned So I think we'll have to make some changes, Ray Yes, I think we'll have to make some changes, Ray Charlie Jones, Jesus Calling I think you just might have star quality and since Reverend Ray is through well I'll tell you what I'll do give you the chance to spread the word for me Now Charlie Jones has his own show and Jesus is the commodity and the show's been on so long well, it has its own theme song but Nielsen has it rated number three "4th CHORUS" Charlie Jones, Jesus Calling how many souls did we save today I've given you the word but the people haven't heard So I think we'll have to find a better way Yes I think we'll have to find a better way Now Charlie Jones, feeling lonely hasn't had a friend in quite awhile and he doesn't know what's wrong but the day seems awful long another minute and another mile... another minute and another mile... another minute and another mile...
