Everything's Gonna Be Alright

George Jones · A Good Year For The Roses

(Carmol Taylor - Agnes Wilson)



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...
