american jesus

He's got a cross on his neck, but he spends Sundays in my bed

He's my blue jean little baby, with a halo on his head

He's got lips like cherry wine, and cigarette smoke on his breath

He's got pretty long brown hair, green eyes that look like sex

Knees down at your altar

Please don't fail me now

You know all my secrets

American Jesus, baby

Won't you take me to Heaven tonight?

You know you're my weakness

American Jesus, save me

You're the greatest love of my life

American Jesus

Let's drive off into the sunset, baby we can be reborn

Walk on water in the desert, make a saint out of a whore

Knees down at your altar

My cowboy in the crown

You know all my secrets

American Jesus, baby

Won't you take me to Heaven tonight? (Tonight)

You know you're my weakness

American Jesus, save me

You're the greatest love of my life (My life)

American Jesus

You got me red, white, and blue

Pledging my allegiance to you

Tell me you believe in me too, "I do"

Ooh, seein' the stars in your eyes

No, I've never felt so alive

We can ride till we die

You know all my secrets

American Jesus, baby

Won't you take me to Heaven tonight? (Tonight)

You know you're my weakness

American Jesus, save me

You're the greatest love of my life (My life)

American Jesus

You got me red, white, and blue

Pledging my allegiance to you

Tell me you believe in me too, "I do"

Ooh, seein' the stars in your eyes

No, I've never felt so alive

We can ride till we die

Ah, ah-ah

Ah, ah-ah

Ah, ah-ah

My American Jesus
