Ian Moore - Muddy JesusLyrics

Jesus lived in a ramshackle shack With a fat New Orleans junkie Charismatic solo lonesome some say He was born plain lucky Cruise the streets of Juarez In his low-cut El Dorado Divine command and oil slick hands With brash and bold bravado Mother Mary said, "Your time has come For the river's wide but can be fought and won" For the very love of God and Man Jesus crossed the Rio Grande Look at here, Jesus fell in step with a group Of high-powered federals Sat them down and formed their plan Through a haze of cold Tecates Judas said, "Now, Jeez, I know You're prone to walk on water If you swim downstream there's a better chance That you'll make it across the border, yeah" Mother Mary said, "Your time has come For the river's wide but can be fought and won" For the very love of God and Man Jesus crossed the Rio Grande Jesus made his run on a hot And humid Friday night But his vision, it was blinded By the bright El Paso lights He never saw the shot That left him short of freedom's land But the faithful they're still waiting For the coming of their man Well, Mother Mary said, "Your time has come For the river's wide but can be fought and won" For the very love of God and Man Jesus crossed the Rio Grande
