Everything's Gonna Be Alright
George Jones · A Good Year For The Roses
Everything's gonna be alright
We're happy day and night
'Cause we had a little talk with Jesus
And everything is gonna be alright.
Well, my troubles overtook me
And I was deep in doubt
I was trying in my own way
To work my problems out.
But now I found me answer
And future looks so bright
'Cause we had a little talk with Jesus
And everything is gonna be alright.
Everything's gonna be alright
We're happy day and night
'Cause we had a little talk with Jesus
And everything is gonna be alright.
--- Instrumental ---
I had no one to turn to
But now I found the key
It was really simple
Just went down on my knees.
And now I see the troubles
I see 'em in a different light
'Cause we had a little talk with Jesus
And everything is gonna be alright.
Everything's gonna be alright
We're happy day and night
'Cause we had a little talk with Jesus
And everything is gonna be alright.
Everything's gonna be alright
We're happy day and night
'Cause we had a little talk with Jesus
And everything is gonna be alright.
(Because we) had a little talk with Jesus
And everything is gonna be alright...
