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
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 a 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 got me red white and blue
Pledging my allegiance to you
Tell me you believe in me too
I do
Ooh
Seeing 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
You got me red white and blue
Pledging my allegiance to you
Tell me you believe in me too
I do
Ooh
Seeing stars in your eyes
No I've never felt so alive
We can ride 'til we die
Ah ah
Ah ah
Ah ah
My American Jesus
