G C
Jesus the Mexican boy, Born in a truck on the fourth of July
G D
Gave me a card with a lady naked on the back
G C
Barefoot at night on the road, Fireworks blooming above in the sky
G D
I never knew I was given the best one from the deck
Am C G
He never wanted nothing I remember
Am C D
Maybe a broken bottle if I had two
Am C G
Hanging behind his holy even temper
Am C D
Hiding the more unholy things I do
G C
Jesus the Mexican boy, Gave me a ride on the back of his bike
G D
Out to the fair though I welched on a $5 bet
G C
Drunk on Calliope songs, We met a home-wrecking carnival girl
G D
He's never asked for a favor or the money yet
G C
Jesus the Mexican boy, Born in a truck on the 4th of July
G D
I fell in love with his sister unrepentantly
G C
Fearing he wouldn't approve, We made a lie that was feeble at best
G D
Boarded a train bound for Vegas and married secretly
Am C G
I never gave him nothing I remember
Am C D
Maybe a broken bottle if I had two
Am C G
Hanging behind his holy even temper
Am C D
Hiding the more unholy things I do
G C
Jesus the Mexican boy, Wearing a long desert trip on his tie
G D
Lo and behold he was standing under the welcome sign
G C
Naked the Judas in me, Fell by the tracks but he lifted me high
G D
Kissing my head like a brother and never asking why
