American Jesus (demo) Songtext
von Nessa Barrett

He′s got a cross on his neck, but he spends Sundays in my bed
He's my blue jean little baby, with a halo on his head

He′s got lips like cherry wine, and cigarette smoke on his breath
He's got pretty long brown hair, green eyes that look like sex

Knees down at your altar
Please don't fail me now

You know all my secrets, American Jesus
Baby, won′t you take me to Heaven tonight?
You know you′re my weakness, American Jesus
Save me, you're the greatest love of my life

American Jesus
American Jesus

Let′s drive off into the sunset, baby we can be reborn
Walk on water in the desert, make a saint out of a whore


Knees down at your altar
My cowboy in the crown

You know all my secrets, American Jesus
Baby, won't you take me to Heaven tonight?
You know you′re my weakness, American Jesus
Save me, you're the greatest love of my life

American Jesus, you′ve got me red, white, and blue
Pledging my allegiance to you, tell me you believe in me too, "I do"
Ooh, seein' stars in your eyes, no, I've never felt so alive
We can ride ′til we die

You know all my secrets, American Jesus
Baby, won′t you take me to Heaven tonight?
You know you're my weakness, American Jesus
Save me, you′re the greatest love of my life

American Jesus, ah, ah-ah
Ah, ah-ah, ah, ah-ah

My American Jesus
