The Ramones and George Jones lyrics

Verse 1The heavens opened on the day
They sang about the KKK
Taking my baby away

I learned about the golden rule
When my dad drove me to school
Sayin, “Be country, even if it ain’t cool.”

ChorusI turned on my radio
Something fast, something slow
A religion all my own
I first learned at seventeen
The only faith that works for me
The Ramones and George Jones

Verse 2And all my sins were washed away
My broken heart became okay
When he stopped loving her today
A gift from above, a godsend
To close my eyes and pretend
Joey was singing to me, “I wanna be your boyfriend.”

ChorusI turned on my radio
Something fast, something slow
A religion all my own
I first learned at seventeen
The only faith that works for me
The Ramones and George Jones

BridgeToo tough to die and seventeen’s turned thirty-four
And George Jones don’t make my country stations anymore
Punk rock don’t sound as sweet as it did before
Sha la la la la la, Sha la la la la la la la la

ChorusI turned on my radio
Something fast, something slow
A religion all my own
I first learned at seventeen
The only faith that works for me
The Ramones and George Jones
