Jesus came to Earth today smack dab into Tennessee
Knocked upon my front door said, "Hey Will, remember me?"
I said, "Oh Lord please forgive me, but I ain't real good with names, but your face looks real familiar. Wait a second, uh, is it James?"
And he said, "No, no, no"
He said, "It's Jesus, you know the son of God" and I didn't realise
I said, "Man, I'm sure sorry" and invited him inside
Offered him a sandwich cause he was looking awful thin
And then I went and got nervous and I said, "So Jesus, where you been?"
And he said "Heaven Will, I've been in heaven"
And then I saw him looking at a picture from my wedding day
Of my wife and me and our one year old son
I said, "I guess that's not OK?"
He said "The truth is all I care about is that you love and take care of your kids.
Remember I was born out of wedlock too, though some folks soon forget. They'd soon forget."
We just sat there talking, watching the TV news
I asked him "Fox or CNN?"
He said, "Will, I prefer the truth."
I said, "PBS, OK my friend" and we both had a laugh
But with the stories they kept showing he started looking pretty sad
It was all war and death and hatred, poverty and greed
He said "The rich folks and politicians are sure starting to get to me. What part of love your neighbor is so hard to understand?"
I said " Don't take it too hard Jesus, let's just take a drive my man. Take a drive my man"
Hopped into my old Ford and went out for a spin
Drove past a military funeral where we saw these angry men
With signs that said that "God hates fags", Jesus said "Let me out"
Walked up to them all calm and cool and I heard one man shout, "Get out of here, you goddamn hippy, I can't wait for you to die."
And Jesus said " I already did" and smiled and waved goodbye
Got in and said "Daddy doesn't hate nobody, that's an awful thing to say. Plus Daddy knows what he's doing. He's the one that made them gay."
God made them gay.
I went back to driving and then I saw him shed a tear
He said "Y'all sure have made a mess of all the things that we gave you down here. All this war and global warming, no help to the sick and the poor. I guess Daddy and I should just pull the plug, y'all ain't worth it anymore."
