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
