Jesus in New Orleans |
| The last time I saw Jesus |
| I was drinking bloody mary’s in the South |
| In a barroom in New Orleans |
| Rinsin' out the bad taste in my mouth |
| She wore a dark and faded blazer |
| With a little of the lining hanging out |
| When the jukebox played Miss Dorothy Moore |
| I knew that it was him without a doubt |
| I said the road is my redeemer |
| I never know just what on earth I’ll find |
| In the faces of a stranger |
| In the dark and weary corners of a mind |
| She said, The last highway is only |
| As far away as you are from yourself |
| And no matter just how bad it gets |
| It does no good to blame somebody else |
| Ain’t it crazy |
| What’s revealed when you’re not looking all that close |
| Ain’t it crazy |
| How we put to death the ones we need the most |
| I know I’m not a martyr |
| I’ve never died for anyone but me |
| The last frontier is only |
| The stranger in the mirror that I see |
| But when I least expect it |
| Here and there I see my savior’s face |
| He’s still my favorite loser |
| Falling for the entire human race |
| Ain’t it crazy |
| What’s revealed when you’re not looking all that close |
| Ain’t it crazy |
| How we put to death the ones we need the most |
| The last time I saw Jesus |
| I was drinking bloody mary’s in the South |
| In a barroom in New Orleans |
| Ain’t it crazy |
| What’s revealed when you’re not looking all that close |
| Ain’t it crazy |
| How we put to death the ones we need the most |
