Jesus the Mexican boy

Born in a truck on the fourth of July

Gave me a card with a lady naked on the back

Barefoot at night on the road

Fireworks blooming above in the sky

I never knew I was given the best one

From the deck

He never wanted nothing I remember

Maybe a broken bottle if I had two

Hanging behind his holy even temper

Hiding the more unholy things I do

Jesus the Mexican boy gave me a ride

On the back of his bike

Out to the fair though I welched on

A five dollars bet

Drunk on calliope songs

We met a home-wrecking carnival girl

He's never asked for a favor or the money yet

Jesus the Mexican boy

Born in a truck on the forth of July

I fell in love with his sister unrepentantly

Fearing he wouldn't approve

We made a lie that was feeble at best

Boarded a train bound for Vegas and married secretly

I never gave him nothing I remember

Maybe a broken bottle if I had two

Hanging behind his holy even temper

Hiding the more unholy things I do

Jesus the Mexican boy

Wearing a long desert trip on his tie

Load and behold he was standing under the welcome sign

Naked the Judas in me fell by the tracks

But he lifted me high

Kissing my head like a brother and never asking why
