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
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 the 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've got me red, white, and blue
Pledging my allegiance to you, tell me you believe in me too, "I do"
Ooh, seein' 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, ah, ah-ah
Ah, ah-ah, ah, ah-ah
My American Jesus
