God Looked Around

(album: Tell The Devil I'm Gettin' There As Fast As I Can - 2018)

God looked around
Didn't see nothing
Said, 'well, shucks let there be light'

So up come the sun
Bright as all get out
Then he split it up into day and night

God looked around
Wasn't much to look at
So he fabricated heaven and earth

So now there's solid ground
Divvied up by the waters
Said well there it is for what its worth

He gave wings to birds
So they'd fly in the air
And legs for critters walking on the ground

Allocated fish to the water
And beasts to the fields
And creeping things to crawl around

God looked around
Didn't see no one
Reached down and picked up some dust

Then he spit on it
Kneaded it like bread dough
And a man rose up full-grown as such

God looked at this man
Saw he was lonely
Said go to sleep, guess I ain't done

He pried out one of his ribs
Slapped some hide around it
There was two now where once there's one

He gave it some curves
And lips red as cherries
And ravishing curly raven hair

The man he woke up
And looked at the woman
Said, good, oh lord, you done answered my prayers

Now things was righteous
When a snake walked up
Said, hey women, take a bite of this

You'll be smart as God
And you'll live forever
You'd be foolish to resist

The woman said no way
'Don't eat from that tree"
Those was God's very own words

Oh, but the snake sweet talked her
And the woman took a bite
Then realized she's naked as a jaybird

The woman went to the man
And he took a taste
I'm undraped he proclaimed

They heard God a coming
And they went and hid
Cause they was naked and ashamed

Well, God found 'em
Said you ate forbidden fruit
The woman cried the snake duped me I was tempted

God said, I told not to
And since you disobeyed
Your time in paradise is ended

So God cast 'em out
Dooming us all to die
That's why its the way it is

God said to the snake
You done talking and walking
That's why to this day they slither and hiss
