We've been datin' since high school

We never once left this town

We used to go out on the weekends

And we'd drink till we drowned

But now she's actin' funny

And I don't understand

I think that she's found her

Some other man

Chorus:

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

But if I ever find Jesus

I'm kickin' his a**

She showed me a picture

All I could do was stare

At that freak in his sandals

With his long purty hair

They must think that I'm stupid

Or I don't have a clue

I bet he's a Commie

Or even worse yet a Jew

Repeat Chorus

She's givin' up whiskey

And taken up wine

She prays for his troubles

And forgot about mine

I'm a gonna get even

I can't handle the shame

Why the last time we made love

She even called out his name

Repeat Chorus

It could have been Carlos

Or even Billy or Ted

But if I ever find Jesus

He's gonna wish he were dead

Ahhh, man
