His trials now are over no more crosses to bear
No more excuses bout the way he wears his hair
They try to tell me he's free now and his mem'ry will live on
Well if dying sets you free he's free but to me he's just gone
Cause he is no Jesus he will not rise again
Three days after we lay him down cause life's all over for him
There'll be no more tomorrows no happiness and sorrows no hellos or goodbyes
Cause he is no Jesus just a friend of mine

We didn't always understand each other but at least we always tried
We just heard different drummers and sometimes the drummer lied
We were gonna be friends forever but forever is not a very long time
Cause he is no Jesus just a friend of mine
Cause he is no Jesus...
No mother's love no best friend's cry can wake him up to say goodbye
Cause he he is no Jesus just a friend of mine
