When Jesus Left Birmingham Lyrics - Mellencamp John Cougar

When Jesus left Birmingham 

All the disciples went crazy 

When Jesus left Birmingham 

All the people went completely nuts 

They all busted out on a wild night 

Riding high on a golden calf 

When Jesus left Birmingham 

All the people had themselves a big long laugh 

Well my girl, she's a waltzer 

And she can talk herself out of any mess 

Mi girl, she don't pray 

But somehow she seems still to be blessed 

And when those crazy nights come callin' 

Man, she'll dance on the tables 

Like all of the rest 

When my girl left Birmingham 

She was doing what se thought was best 

It's all free on the inside 

I passed a very uncomfortable evening last night 

Save us right now, we need you... 

To hell with all the lies and liars 

Recovery, recovery, I don't know about any recovery 

Inside, gotta get inside 

Inside 

I see myself with a rosary 

I'm in a garden and I'm talking to myself 

I ain't sayin' much worth repeating 

Just askin' for forgiveness and all of his best 

When those crazy nights come callin' 

Man, I'm just as human as I can be 

When Jesus left Birmingham 

He left it there for you and me 

When Jesus left Birmingham 

He left it there for you and me 

So let it rock, let it roll 

Let the Bible Belt come and save my soul
