Lydia Loveless - Jesus Was a Wino lyrics

Well, some days you wake up, Life feels meaningless. You don't even have The strength to get up and get dressed. Then when you do, You see your clothes are all torn to shreds. And you can't even afford to buy a needle and thread. So you might go to church To bow your head and pray But that ain't always enough to get it through the day Sometimes you'll feel bitter You figure this priest is a mooch And you might just take all of your tithes To a bottle of hooch. And if people knew, they would look down on you Don't they know that it's true: Jesus was a wino, too. Plus, people may ask, "Why have your lips turned black?" "Hey, what the hell is so funny, man? Why have your eyes gone slack?" They're gonna feel high and mightier to you And I can barely stand I'll just tell them I couldn't turn down one more gla** of the blood of the lamb Because if people knew, they would call me a fool I wish they knew it was true Jesus was a wino, too And this here six-dollar bottle is just about all that I can afford And if I can't find a corkscrew I'll just smash it open right here on the floor And you might call me crazy For lapping this off the ground But a few years ago I would be drinkin' with Jesus right now 'Cause they may not have had Carlo Rossi way back in His day Jesus had only water but he turned it to wine anyway And nobody asked, "What would Jesus do?" 'Cause everybody knew Jesus was a wino too No, nobody asked, "What would Jesus do?" 'Cause everybody knew Jesus was a wino too Oooh, uh huh Uh huh.
