I'm Gonna Have a Little Talk
Randy Travis · The Very Best of Randy Travis [Warner Bros./Rhino] [2004]
I'm gonna have a little talk with Jesus when I get home tonight
Gonna tell him all about my troubles and I know he'll make them right
Then I'll ask him to forgive me for the things that I've done wrong
Gonna have a little talk with Jesus tonight when I get home.
This world can be a struggle just livin' day to day
You'll run into the devil with every step you take
I've seen his face a hundred times as he tried to lead me wrong
He don't understand that I don't walk this road alone.
I'm gonna have a little talk with Jesus when I get home tonight
Gonna tell him all about my troubles and I know he'll make them right
Then I'll ask him to forgive me for the things that I've done wrong
Gonna have a little talk with Jesus tonight when I get home.
Lord said I could call on him when ever I feel low
Any time or place I needed him he would gladly go
My life has not been perfect no matter how I try
But he's never turned his back on me and that's the reason why.
I'm gonna have a little talk with Jesus when I get home tonight
Gonna tell him all about my troubles and I know he'll make them right
Then I'll ask him to forgive me for the things that I've done wrong
Gonna have a little talk with Jesus tonight when I get home.
I'm gonna have a little talk with Jesus when I get home tonight
Gonna tell him all about my troubles and I know he'll make them right
Then I'll ask him to forgive me for the things that I've done wrong
Gonna have a little talk with Jesus tonight when I get home.
I'm gonna have a little talk with Jesus tonight when I get home...
