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 alter
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 alter
My cowboy in the 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, see the stars in your eyes
No, I 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, see the stars in your eyes
No, I never felt so alive
We can ride 'til we die

My American Jesus
