Hayes Carll - She Left Me for Jesus lyrics

[Hayes Carll - She Left Me for Jesus lyrics]

We''ve been dating since high school we
Never once left this town
We use to go out on the weekends
And we'd drink 'til we drowned
But now she's acting funny
And I don't understand
I think that she's found her some other man

She left me for Jesus and
That just ain't fair
She says that He's perfect
How could I compare?
She says I should find Him and
I'll know peace at last
If I ever find Jesus, I'm kicking His ass

She showed me a picture all
I could do was stare
At that freak in His sandals
With His long pretty hair
They must think that I'm stupid or
I don't have a clue
I'll bet He's a commie or
Ever worse yet a Jew
She left me for Jesus and
That just ain't fair
She says that He's perfect
How could I compare?
She says I should find Him and
I'll know peace at last
If I ever find Jesus, I'm kicking His ass

She's given up whiskey and taking up wine
While she prays for His troubles
She's forgot about mine
I'm a gonna get even
I can't handle the shame
Why last time we made love she
Even called out his name

She left me for Jesus and
That just ain't fair
She says that He's perfect
How could I compare?
She says I should find Him and
I'll know peace at last
If I ever find Jesus, I'm kicking His ass

It coulda been Carlos or even Billy or Ted
But, if I ever find Jesus
He's gonna wish He was dead, Amen
