If you're ever In the Richmond Jail With no one around To go your bail If you've lost your way It might help to know Jesus is the way home If you're trying To put that whiskey down And you realize You're losing ground You don't have to walk That road alone Jesus is the way home You don't have to worry Where you're at Or why you're there He knows all that You just let The Good Book be your map Jesus is the way home If you think Nobody understands And life's not going Like you planned There's a friend Who'll show you how to go Jesus is the way home There's a garden Down in Alabam' Not too far South of Birmingham Painted signs And crosses by the road One says Jesus Is the way home For the Bible tells me so Jesus is the way home
