800 Pound Jesus

歌詞

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 With 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 losin' 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 that statue there's a big oak tree So I stood on his shoulders And I counted to three I had every intention of buyin' 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
