Jesus the Mexican boy
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 bloomin' above in the sky
I never knew I was given the best one from the deck
He never wanted nothin' I remember
Maybe a broken bottle if I had two
Hangin' behind his holy even temper
Hidin' the more unholy things I do
Jesus the Mexican boy
Gave me a ride on the back of his bike
Out to the fair though I welched on a five dollar bet
Drunk on Calliope songs
We met a home-wreckin' carnival girl
He's never asked for a favor or the money yet
Jesus the Mexican boy
Born in a truck on the fourth of July
I fell in love with his sister unrepentantly
Fearin' 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 nothin' I remember
Maybe a broken bottle if I had two
Hangin' behind his holy even temper
Hidin' the more unholy things I do
Jesus the Mexican boy
Wearin' a long desert trip on his tie
Lo and behold he was standin' under the welcome sign
Naked the Judas in me
Fell by the tracks but he lifted me high
Kissin' my head like a brother and never askin' why
