when jesus left birmingham

Singer:john mellencamp

when jesus left birmingham

all the disciples went crazy. when jesus left birmingham

all the people went completely nuts. they all busted out on a wild night

riding high on a golden calf. when jesus left birmingham

all the people had themselves a big long laugh. well my girl

she's a walker

and she can talk herself out of any mess. my girl

she don't pray

but somehow she seems still to be blessed. and when those crazy nights come callin'

man

she'll dance on the tables

like all of the rest. when my girl left birmingham

she was doing what she thought was best. it's all free on the inside. i passed a very uncomfortable feeling last night. save us right now

we need you. to hell with all the lies and liars. recovery

recovery

i don't know about any recovery. inside

gotta get inside

inside. i see myself with a rosary

i'm in a garden and i'm talking to myself. i ain't sayin' much worth repeating

just askin' for forgiveness and all of his best. when those crazy nights come callin'

man

i'm just as human as i can be. when jesus left birmingham

he left it there for you and me. when jesus left birmingham

he left it there for you and me. so let it rock

let it roll

let the bible belt come and save my soul.
