I was trying to write a gospel song and I was struggling. One of the reasons why I was struggling is that for some unknown reason, my gospel songs almost always end up containing some type of profanity.
Now, I may not seem like much of a Gospel singer. I write and sing a LOT of songs about my dick. So many if fact that my wife asked me once, “Do you think it would be possible for you to write a song that WASN’T about your penis?”
I guess I could.... but what else is there that I really care about?
Like I said, I was trying to write a gospel song and that conversation popped into my head. I don't know if the word "Titties" is still considered profanity. I know it's not what you normally hear the choir singing about at the Highland Heights Church of Christ.
That doesn’t make any less of a gospel song though.
lyrics
Guitars and Titties
(Jeff Wall)
I was a drunkard, and I smoked that dope.
Then I found the Lord, and I let all that go.
I quit my drinking, and running around
but I still got two weaknesses, dragging me down
I guess it all started, when I was a boy
Guitars and Titties, were my favorite toys
Yes, Guitars or Titties, either would do
Either was fine, but I’d rather have two
Schoolwork and Sports, were never my thing
I loved Guitars and Titties, but they both come with strings
Guitars and Titties, Will mess up your mind
They’ll take all your money, they’ll take all your time
In Heaven I’m told, There’s no guilt there’s no shame
Your titties won’t sag, you’ll feel no more pain
Guitars will tune good, and ring like a bell
You won’t hear no banjos, let ‘em all burn in Hell
When Jesus comes down, from His Heavenly throne
to gather his children, and take us all home
I hope and I pray, that he’ll understand
how guitars and titties, bring joy to a man
Yes I think it’s all part, of the Lord’s Master Plan
He gave us Guitars and Titties to bring joy to a man
Acoustic Hillbilly, Honky-Tonk, Bluegrass Music with heart, soul, and God's honest truth. He'll make you laugh, he'll make you cry, he'll make you tap your foot.
