Paul Thorn - 800 Pound Jesus lyrics

[Verse 1] I saw a garage sale, pulled up in the yard Found a statue of Jesus, it was eight feet tall He held out His arms, and He seemed all alone So I loaded Him up, and I drove Him home [Verse 2] Out by my driveway, He looks down the street Long hair and sandals made of rebar and concrete I painted Him white with a long purple robe He's a Rock of Ages on our gravel road [Chorus] He's an eight-hundred pound Jesus Standing taller than a tree He's an eight-hundred pound Jesus A bigger man than you or me [Verse 3] I thought losing my job was the end of the world 'Til my best pal ran off with my best girl I felt suicidal with no real friends So I walked outside with a rope in my hand [Verse 4] Out by the statue there's a big old tree So I stood on His shoulders and I counted to three I had every intention of buying the farm But when I jumped off, He caught me in His arms [Chorus] He's an eight-hundred pound Jesus Standing taller than a tree He's an eight-hundred pound Jesus A bigger man than you or me [Verse 5] I wanted to return the favor to Him 'Cause I never had a more solid friend So I planted some flowers all around His feet And I bought Him a flock of ceramic sheep [Chorus] He's an eight-hundred pound Jesus Standing taller than a tree He's an eight-hundred pound Jesus A bigger man than you or me [Tag] He's a bigger man than you or me Yeah
