He's got a cross on his neck But he spends Sundays in my bed He's my blue jean little baby With a halo on his head He's got lips like cherry wine And cigarette smoke on his breath He's got pretty long brown hair Green eyes that look like sex Knees down at your altar Please don't fail me now You know all my secrets American Jesus, baby Won't you take me to heaven tonight? You know you're my weakness American Jesus, save me You're the greatest love of my life American Jesus Let's drive off into the sunset Baby, we can be reborn Walk on water in the desert Make a saint out of a whore Knees down at your altar My cowboy in a crown You know all my secrets American Jesus, baby Won't you take me to heaven tonight? You know you're my weakness American Jesus, save me You're the greatest love of my life American Jesus You got me red, white, and blue Pledging my allegiance to you Tell me you believe in me too I do Ooh, seeing stars in your eyes No, I've never felt so alive We can ride 'til we die You know all my secrets American Jesus, baby Won't you take me to heaven tonight? You know you're my weakness American Jesus, save me You're the greatest love of my life American Jesus You got me red, white, and blue Pledging my allegiance to you Tell me you believe in me too I do Ooh, seeing stars in your eyes No, I've never felt so alive We can ride 'til we die Ah, ah Ah, ah Ah, ah My American Jesus
