Jesus Saves Lyrics

Jesus was a talker, out of place New Yorker
Hung out on the boulevard
Sellin' nickel candies
Saving all His quarters

Bought Himself a cheap guitar
Started playin' bars
The kids came in their cars
You'd hear them shouting at the stage

Jesus saves
Jesus saves

Jesus started changin'
Things got really strange
He saw, His tee shirts everywhere
Started missing shows

The band came down to blows
But Jesus, He no longer cared
Things got out of hand and so He quit the band
But still the critics, they would rave

Jesus saves
Jesus saves

Her, Him cut through the night
On your late night radio waves
So the dice were cast, today became the past
And Jesus, He just disappeared

Headed for New York
Or so His label thought and there He gave away the years
Last seen drinking wine, beneath a flashing sign
Promising salvation to strays

Jesus saves
Jesus saves

Her, Him cut through the night
On your late night radio waves
