| Lyrics: | Written by: 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.
(Repeat out.) |
