Under New Management
By: Noah Eaton
10/28/03

From this jail I’ve just made bail
Ridin’ with the wind in my sails
You see Jesus too was a jailbird
And there’s so much from Him I’ve learned
Cuz once I prayed to the Devil
Let him claim possession of my blues-infused soul
Now He’s busted those chains
And I’ve made my lucky escape…

Now I’m rollin’ down the interstate
Lookin’ for that bundle of your grace
Lord, my doors are open wide
You're always welcome to walk by my side
Cuz now I always pass the devil on the street
He can never afford to pay me the lease
Hey God, come right in
Cuz my heart's under new management

Now I’m sittin’ up front on this Greyhound
Makin’ my ride on this honky-tonk merry-go-round
I’ve got me a six-piece band and a high falootin’ crowd
Fallin’ never felt so right, for cryin’ out loud
I’m rollin’ the wheel and shiftin’ the gears
He'll keep gettin' shotgun through all these wonder years
Cuz every show I have He’s my guest of honor
He’s my rootin-tootin’ host who’s got all the power

Now I’m rollin’ down the interstate
Lookin’ for that bundle of your grace
Lord, my doors are open wide
You're always welcome to walk by my side
Cuz now I always pass the devil on the street
He can never afford to pay me the lease
Hey God, come right in
Cuz my heart's under new management

I’m puttin’ up a clearance sale
All my sins must go
Lord, I'll always be followin' you
Followin' you till I come back home

Now I’m rollin’ down the interstate
Lookin’ for that bundle of your grace
Lord, my doors are open wide
You're always welcome to walk by my side
Cuz now I always pass the devil on the street
He can never afford to pay me the lease
Hey God, come right in
Cuz my heart's under new management

Come right in,
cuz my heart's under new management

I don't need no proof when it comes to God and truth
I can see the sun set and I perceive

This is amazing!! I loved every single word. It flowed great and I could hear it in my head as a song. You should put some music to it and see how it sounds. Thank you so much for sharing this with us.

Will the wind ever remember the names
it has blown in the past with
its crutch its old age and its widsom
it whispers no this won't be the last
