800 Pound Jesus |
| I saw a garage sale, pulled up in the yard |
| Found a statue of Jesus, it was eight feet tall |
| He held out His arms, and He seemed all alone |
| So I loaded Him up, and I drove Him home |
| Out by my driveway, He looks down the street |
| Long hair and sandals made of rebar and concrete |
| I painted Him white with a long purple robe |
| He’s a Rock of Ages on our gravel road |
| He’s an eight-hundred pound Jesus |
| Standing taller than a tree |
| He’s an eight-hundred pound Jesus |
| A bigger man than you or me |
| I thought losing my job was the end of the world |
| 'Til my best pal ran off with my best girl |
| I felt suicidal with no real friends |
| So I walked outside with a rope in my hand |
| Out by the statue there’s a big old tree |
| So I stood on His shoulders and I counted to three |
| I had every intention of buying the farm |
| But when I jumped off, He caught me in His arms |
| He’s an eight-hundred pound Jesus |
| Standing taller than a tree |
| He’s an eight-hundred pound Jesus |
| A bigger man than you or me |
| I wanted to return the favor to Him |
| 'Cause I never had a more solid friend |
| So I planted some flowers all around His feet |
| And I bought Him a flock of ceramic sheep |
| He’s an eight-hundred pound Jesus |
| Standing taller than a tree |
| He’s an eight-hundred pound Jesus |
| A bigger man than you or me |
| He’s a bigger man than you or me |
| Yeah |
