Lyrics
Jesus Lives Next Door (D. Tough) He lights his cigarette, drinks a can of Bud light My next door on his porch every night A white t-shirt, he’s got a big brown beard A long haired hippie, you might think he’s kinda weird Last night I stopped on by and I brought some Mickey Finn I bought the Cuervo, his amigos brought the gin We stayed til 4 o’clock, gettin’ hooted with his Dad I needed love, and that is what they had Every night he hangs out With the strippers and the whores Seems they find some grace at his place Drunks and junkies just lyin’ on his floor You might not care But I swear That Jesus lives next door He drives for meals on wheels, except on Saturdays Fixed my leaky roof, he’s a carpenter by trade And we went fishin’, we had a real good time He did some party tricks like turnin’ water into wine Scars on his hands, that he’d got from the war So many sins, that they’d nailed him for But he don’t judge me, he just takes me as I am And don’t you know, I wanna be just like him Repeat Chorus I saw a sold in his yard, late July He went up north, extradited, some say crucified He wrote a note that gave me hope So I chose to believe “Goodbye, my friend, til we meet again, Jesus Lopez Ruiz” It’s always better to give than receive “Farewell, my friend, til we meet again, Jesus Lopez Ruiz” Written by Dave Tough © 2011 Contact: Dave Tough * 5801 Tee Pee Trace * Cane Ridge, Tennessee 615.554.6693 www.davetough.com
