When Jesus Left Birmingham |
When Jesus left Birmingham |
All the disciples went crazy |
When Jesus left Birmingham |
All the people went completely nuts |
They all busted out on a wild night |
Riding high on a golden calf |
When Jesus left Birmingham |
All the people had themselves a big long laugh |
Well my girl, she’s a walker |
And she can talk herself out of any mess |
My girl, she don’t pray |
But somehow she seems still to be blessed |
And when those crazy nights come callin' |
Man, she’ll dance on the tables |
Like all of the rest |
When my girl left Birmingham |
She was doing what she thought was best |
It’s all free on the inside |
I passed a very uncomfortable feeling last night |
Save us right now, we need you… |
To hell with all the lies and liars |
Recovery, recovery, I don’t know about any recovery |
Inside, gotta get inside |
Inside |
I see myself with a rosary |
I’m in a garden and I’m talking to myself |
I ain’t sayin' much worth repeating |
Just askin' for forgiveness and all of his best |
When those crazy nights come callin' |
Man, I’m just as human as I can be |
When Jesus left Birmingham |
He left it there for you and me |
When Jesus left Birmingham |
He left it there for you and me |
So let it rock, let it roll |
Let the Bible Belt come and save my soul |
