If you're traveling down a dead-end road
And need a place to lighten your load
I know a spot on the edge of town
With all you need to go around
There's always room at the Jerusalem Inn
For lonely hearts without a friend
Just open the door and walk right in
You're welcome at the Jerusalem Inn
I once had a friend who's prettiest dress
Was not good enough for Sunday's best
They said she was different, not like us
So they showed her the way to the bus
Oh, I knew a man who had a dream
To take the truth and set men free
But no one listened, no one saw
And so they nailed him to the wall
