Shelby Lynne – Jesus On An Greyhound lyrics
[verse 1]
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

[chorus]
Oh I told him I'm a sinner, he said that's O. K.
I'm not here to change you any-way, he was gone when I turned around
Was that Jesus - Jesus on a Greyhound

[verse 2]
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 for now, let me drift away
He acted like he knew me, then he fell asleep
I had no more secrets I could keep

[chorus]
Oh I told him I'm a sinner, he said that's O. K.
I'm not here to change you any-way, he was gone when I turned around
Was that Jesus - Jesus on a Greyhound

[Bridge]
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 Jeeee - sus

[chorus]
Oh I told him I'm a sinner, he said that's O. K.
I'm not here to change you any-way, he was gone when I turned around
Was that Jesus - Jesus on a Greyhound

[Outro]
And I'll rise, I'll rise again,
Ain't no power on earth can keep me down
And I'll rise, I'll rise again,
There ain't no death can keep me in the ground
Was that Jesus
On a greyhound
