about

Started with the first line and no intention of it going where it went. But hey, shit happens.

lyrics

VERSE 1
It's early in the morning and it's dark as night
Everybody's waiting around for the sun to rise
I've been sitting here not moving for far too long
I look out my window and see Jesus Christ on my lawn
He's got a beer in one hand and a cigarette in the other
Says his wife just left him, found out about his other lover
His father told him, "Son, you know I think that you better move on"
He's says he gonna start on crying just as soon as it hits dawn

CHORUS
I've been drinking with Jesus Christ but he says, "It's alright
I've only had a few I can drive tonight"
I'm a little bit worried 'cause he keeps on swerving over the line
I ask him how he's doing and he says that he feels like dying

VERSE 2
It seemed to me that Jesus needed to forget his troubles with a night on the town
So we hopped in my Camaro just to see what kind of action was going down
At Sam's Saloon, he met a girl, told her he was the savior of the world
She just looked at him funny and said, "I don't think I'm you're kind of girl"
"Let's go," he said, "I know a different scene,
And if someone asks me to perform a miracle I'm liable to get mean"
So we drove across town to a honky-tonk he said he knew
We just drank a lot of beer and danced the night away with girls home from school

CHORUS
VERSE 3
The band wouldn't listen when Jesus requested "If You Could Toucher Her At All"
So he threw a bottle at the bass player and started a big ol' barroom brawl
The bartender kicked him out said, "Son, don't come back here no more!"
I found him an alley with a bloody nose talking to some whore
"Let's go," I said "It's time we get on down the road"
"My luck's run out," he tells me, "I've got nowhere I want to go
Both the women I loved, what I did well it made 'em both leave
I always thought that I found God but he never found me"
