When Jesus Left Birmingham Lyrics by John Mellencamp

When Jesus Left Birmingham Lyrics

    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 walker
    And she can talk herself out of any mess
    My 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 she thought was best

    It's all free on the inside
    I passed a very uncomfortable feeling 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

    (repeat out.)
