I rolled her a cigarette outside the bar, she emptied her heart under the stars
I told her who I was - Rachael was her name - 'Oh like in the Bible?' - 'yeah one and the same'

I lit the smoke she settled down - looked up and said she'd just come to town'
The neon halo over her head said The Family Wash, at least that's what I read

Kind of ironic I thought to myself as the story unfolded of the cards she'd been dealt
He told her he loved her like men sometimes do - she took a chance and found out it weren't true

She stepped inside ordered a drink she needed to hide she and needed to think
She sat there listening to the band staring at the Pink Plastic Jesus and the drink in her hand

Pink Jesus Pink Jesus where did I go wrong?
Pink Jesus Pink Jesus where has my love gone?

I got up and played my set I was scanning the crowd for that girl that I'd met
So sorry it didn't work out a lifetime away from what love is about

What was she thinkin' when she let him in like some cheap tattoo under her skin
Into her heart and into her mind it's true what they say love surely is blind

Pink Jesus Pink Jesus where did I go wrong?
Pink Jesus Pink Jesus where has my love gone?

They're mopping the floors and wiping the bar, counting the cash and starting the cars
