Jesus Came to Tennessee lyrics

Jesus came to Earth today, smack-dab into Tennessee
Knocked upon my front door said, "Hey Will, remember me?"
I said, "Oh Lord please forgive me, but I ain't real good with names
"But your face looks real familiar. Wait a second, uh, is it James?"
And he said, "No, no, no"

He said, "It's Jesus - you know, the Son of God?" and I didn't realize
I said, "Man, I'm sure sorry" and invited him inside
Offered him a sandwich 'cause he was lookin' awful thin
And then I went and got nervous and said, "So Jesus, where you been?"
And he said "Heaven Will, I've been in heaven"

And then I saw him looking at a picture from my weddin' day
Of my wife and me and our one-year-old son. I said, "I guess that's not okay?"
He said "The truth is, all I care about is that you love and take care of your kids
"Remember I was born out of wedlock too, though some folks soon forget"
They'd soon forget

We just sat there talkin', watchin' the TV news
I asked him "Fox or CNN?" He said, "Will, I prefer the truth"
I said, "PBS, okay my friend" and we both had a laugh
But with the stories they kept showin', he started lookin' pretty sad
It was all war and death and hatred, poverty and greed
He said "The rich folks and politicians are sure startin' to get to me "What part of 'love your neighbor' is so hard to understand?"
I said "Don't take it too hard Jesus, let's just take a drive my man"
Take a drive my man
