Jesus On A Greyhound
(专辑: Love, Shelby - 2001)
I
was on my way to somewhere to the
Mexicali sand A
man sat down beside me, he had scars upon his hands He told me some stories, I
told him some lies Light shone in the
darkness, cast shadows from my mind His eyes they looked right through me, oh I
knew he carried weight Something real was going down that day Oh, I
told him, "I'm a
sinner" He said, "That's okay" I'm not here to change you anyway He was gone when I
turned around Was that Jesus? Jesus on a
Greyhound We talked about the
world gone bad, the
trouble we had seen We talked about the
dirt-brown shoes he wore on his feet He said, "I'm tired and weary, I've been riding a
long way Let me rest my eyes for now, let me drift away" Oh, he acted like he knew me and then he fell asleep I
had no more secrets I
could keep Oh, I
told him, "I'm a
sinner" He said, "That's okay" I'm not here to change you anyway He was gone when I
turned around Was that Jesus? Was that Jesus on a
Greyhound? Somewhere in the
sunlit morning I
stepped off of the
bus in the
middle of the
City of Angels And that long-haired hippie was up and gone Where devils run, and play, and lust, and looking for the
danger Oh, and I
looked at my feet and saw the
shoes that he had worn And thank God for that beautiful stranger Was that Jesus? Was that Jesus? Was that Jesus? I
told him, "I'm a
sinner" And he said, "That's okay" I'm not here to change you anyway He was gone when I
turned around Was that Jesus? Jesus on a
Greyhound? Was that Jesus on a
Greyhound today? And I'll rise again Oh, there ain't no power on earth, can keep me down Say and I'll rise, I'll rise again Oh, ain't no death can keep me in the
ground And was that Jesus? Was that Jesus, ay, on a
Greyhound? Ooh, yeah, was that Jesus?
