He’s God’s Problem Now Lyrics

A John Deere hat was his crown

His home was rundown

People said

The stories he told

Never got old

In his head

He'd nod and he'd smile

Come sit for a while

But don't believe a word I say

He's God's problem now

He sold off the farm

All but the barn

And two sheds

Says he's a vet

The guys that he served with

Are dead

He thinks it messed with his brain

And tries to explain

Would rather tell a joke instead

He's God's problem now

He mentions

For forty-eight years

His wife put up with him

He puts a flower on her grave

Every single day

Then he says he hopes to see her

If Jehovah looks the other way

He was always around

When we came to town

He'd be there

The kids knew his name

He told them use my cane

We can share

But now that he's gone

It won't be too long

Till he sees his wife again

He's God's problem now

Now that he's away

We miss him every day

This town will never be the same

He's God's problem now
