If Jesus was from Nashville He'd have a sweet guitar He'd be a country singer Ya...He'd be a great big star! If Jesus was from Nashville He'd create a Media blitz With a string of number one hits That would go somethin' like this I Can't Do Any Miracles In My Own Home Town, The Government's On My Back and My Buddies All Let Me Down If Jesus was from Nashville One thing would be quite clear That He would get a record deal If He'd turn the water into beer! If Jesus was from Nashville It might seem a little weird To see Him wearin' a cowboy hat With short hair and no beard! If Jesus was from Nashville Amazin' Grace would be His song And we'd hear it on the juke box In every Honky-tonk! (Along with) I Can't Do Any Miracles In My Own Home Town, The Government's On My Back And My Buddies All Let Me Down If Jesus was from Nashville One thing would be quite clear That He would get a record deal If He'd turn the water into beer! If Jesus was from Nashville Oh it wouldn't be too long Before He turned His sermons into song! You'd see Him at the award show The only guy in a tux and bare feet Cause He probably just came in from the farm Where He was siftin' the tares from the wheat! If Jesus was from Nashville He'd probably have a truck And drive around in the muck! When He's not out on tour In a great big shiny bus! Travelin' around from town to Town preachin' to a bunch Of sinners just like us! Just like us! Ah come on don't get all offended We're just havin' a little fun Cause we all know that Jesus was From Heaven! But He couldn't do any miracles In His own home town, The government was on His back And His buddies all let Him down If Jesus was from Nashville One thing would be quite clear That He would probably still Get crucified right here Right here
