  • We've been datin' since high school
    We never once left this town
    We use to go out on the weekends
    And we''d drink til we drowned
    But now she's acting funny and I don't understand
    I think that she's found her, some other man

    [Chorus]
    She left me for Jesus and that just ain't fair
    She says that he's perfect, how could I compare
    She says I should find him and I'll know peace at last
    If I ever find Jesus, I'm kickin' his ass

    She showed me a picture, all I could do was stare
    At that freak in his sandals with his long pretty hair
    They must think that I'm stupid or I don't have a clue
    Ill bet hes a commie, or ever worse yet a Jew

    [Chorus]

    She's given up whiskey and takin' up wine
    While she prays for his troubles, had forgot about mine
    I'm a gonna get even, I can't handle the shame
    Why last time we made love, she even called out his name

    [Chorus]

    It coulda been Carlos or even Billy or Ted
    But if I ever find Jesus
    He's gonna wish he was dead, amen Writer/s: BRIAN KEENE, HAYES CARLL

  • Matt D. from Nyc NyI had a girlfriend who really DID leave me for Jesus... It wasn't funny then, but it is now!
  • AnonymousCome back when you're a little older, Emma. Hopefully you'll see the humour in the song then.
  • Dave from OhioFormer seminarian and practicing Christian. This is a brilliant, funny satirical song. I speak from the hear when I say that Jesus is laughing his butt off!
  • Emma from KsI am a preteen who is very close to god and I very much take offense to this song. You are offending Jesus and you call yourself a minister, you really need to get your act together. I find most of your songs nice and sad and loving but this one surprised me.
