Subject: Lyr Add: 800-POUND JESUS (Maddox, Thorn)
I'd like to play a song that I really like...
I saw a garage sale, pulled up in the yard Found a statue of Jesus that was 8 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 Long hair and sandals made of rebar and concrete I painted Him white, with a long purple robe He's the rock of ages on a gravel road
He's an 800 pound Jesus Standing taller then a tree He's and 800 pound Jesus A bigger man than you or me
I thought losing my job was the end of the world Till my best pal ran off with my best girl I felt suicidal, with no real friend So I walked outside with a rope in my hand Out by the statue, there's a big oak tree So I hopped on that statue and counted to three I had every intention of buying the farm But when I jumped off, He caught me in His arms
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!
