Lyrics
My Jesus
Now I'm watching at a distance
As your star begins to rise
Mine is stuck up north it doesn't
move but I can always
Steer my craft by looking at it
Meanwhile you are doing well
We may never meet in Vegas
If my new stuff doesn't sell
Ooooooooooooo
If you'll be my Jesus
I will be your John the Baptist
If you'll be my Jesus
I will be your John the Baptist
If I can't be you
Can I see you
Coming?
Yes I knew you for a long time
You were always such a sight
I just knew you had it in you
Yes I always knew you might
Make it big and make it shiny
And I think that's coming soon
Meanwhile I'm a music teacher
Setting with a waning moon
If you'll be my Jesus
I will be your John the Baptist
If you'll be my Jesus
I will be your John the Baptist
If I can't be you
Can I see you
Coming?
Oops, there I go, talking about myself again.
Oops, there I go, talking about myself again.
Oops, there I go, talking about myself again.
Oops, there I go, talking about myself again.
Oops, there I go, talking about myself again.
Oops, there I go, talking about myself again.
Oops, there I go, talking about myself again.
Oops, there I go, talking about myself again.
If you'll be my Jesus
I will be your John the Baptist
If you'll be my Jesus
I will be your John the Baptist
If I can't be you
Can I see you
Coming?
