jesus the mexican boy
Singer:iron & wine
born in a truck on the fourth of july
gave me a card with a lady naked on the back
barefoot at night on the road
fireworks blooming above in the sky
i never knew i was given the best one from the deck
he never wanted nothing i remember
maybe a broken bottle if i had two
hanging behind his holy even temper
hiding the more unholy things i do
gave me a ride on the back of his bike
out to the fair though i welched on a $5 bet
we met a home-wrecking carnival girl
he's never asked for a favor or the money yet
born in a truck on the 4th of july
i fell in love with his sister unrepentantly
fearing he wouldn't approve
we made a lie that was feeble at best
boarded a train bound for vegas and married secretly
i never gave him nothing i remember
maybe a broken bottle if i had two
hanging behind his holy even temper
hiding the more unholy things i do
wearing a long desert trip on his tie
lo and behold he was standing under the welcome sign
fell by the tracks but he lifted me high
kissing my head like a brother and never asking why
