Wooden Jesus

(album: Can't Get There From Here - 1999)

Down the road in my car
A wooden Jesus on my dashboard
Go to work to stay alive
I'm just a sinner trying to survive
We commit all those deadly sins
But I don't worry 'cause I got my friend

I got my wooden Jesus in my car
He's always with me never too far
My wooden Jesus forgives me
I'm a sinner that's why I believe
In my wooden jesus

Wake up in the morning sun
On my dresser got another one
Say a prayer to start my day
Maybe the big man will show me the way
A money maker down in east LA
Stamping them out ten thousand a day

I got a wooden Jesus in my car
He's always with me never too far
My wooden jesus he's my friend
I've been a lion laying down with the lamb
I got my friend got my soul
Why he forgives me god only knows
'Cause he's a wooden Jesus wooden Jesus wooden Jesus

Lord take me on away from here
Take me down the road to salvation
Help me jesus try to find my way
Send me a revelation

I got to wooden Jesus in my car
Got him sitting on my dashboard
Wooden Jesus shows the way
He keeps me ready for that judgement day
He's my wooden Jesus forgiving me
I need a savior so I try to believe
In my wooden Jesus doesn't mind
He always loves me he's my kind
Of wooden Jesus wooden Jesus wooden Jesus

Ten thousand maybe more
Wrapped with string on a cheap old board
Cast iron believe me
Five ninety five will buy your reprieve
Wooden Jesus
He's my friend show me the way
Keep me ready for that judgement day
Wooden jesus
