Jesus On A Greyhound

I was on my way to somewhere to the Mexicali sand

A man sat down beside me, he had scars upon his hands

He told me some stories - I told him some lies

Light shone through my darkness, cast shadows from my mind

His eyes they looked right through me

Oh I knew he carried weight

Something real was going down that day

Oh I told him I'm a sinner

He said that's o.k.

I'm not here to change you anyway

He was gone when I turned around

Was it Jesus - Jesus on a Greyhound

Oh we talked about the world gone bad

The troubles we had seen

We talked about the dirt

Brown shoes he wore on his feet

He said I'm tired and weary

I've been riding a long way

Let me rest my eyes now

Let me drift away

He acted Like he knew me

Then he fell asleep

I had no More secrets

I could keep

Oh I told him I'm a sinner

He said that's o.k.

I'm not here to change you anyway

He was gone when I turned around

Was it Jesus - Jesus on a Greyhound

Somewhere in the sunlit mornin'

I stepped off the bus in the

Middle of the city of angels

And that long haired hippie was up

And gone where devils run and play and lust

Lookin for the danger

Oh and I looked at my feet and

Saw the shoes that he had worn and

Thank God for that beautiful stranger

Was that Jesus

Was that Jesus

Was that Jesus

Oh I told him I'm a sinner

He said that's o.k.

I'm not here to change you anyway

He was gone when I turned around

Was it Jesus - Jesus on a Greyhound

And I'll rise again

Ain't no power on earth can keep me down

And I'll rise, I'll rise again

Oh ain't no death can keep me in the ground

Was that Jesus
