lyrics

Lookin’ for Jesus © Brian Straub 2/00

Well it’s funny the state of mind the time of day can put me in
Well I’m a regular boring boy all day and a nighttime filled with sin
I said a nighttime filled with sin

The smell of hair and the sight of breast send me spinning down a hole
I go stompin’ all over this ol’ town ‘til the dawn takes its toll
I said the dawn will take its toll

Chorus

and I’m lookin’ for Jesus, have you seen him anywhere?
I gotta purge myself of lust and all those common cares
And the bottle don’t help me, and I can’t get the girls
So I’m lookin’ for Jesus to straighten my ragged world mm mm hmm mm


And I make drunk calls to old friends in the middle of the night
I say things on their answering machine that I’d never mean in daylight
well I sure don’t mean in daylight
And I’m so goddamn lonely that even Hank could not describe
Yeah I’m so fuckin’ lonely it feels like my heart shriveled up and died
I said my heart shriveled up and died E – four separate muted strokes

Chorus

1st two lines – same as above
and my chest has been hurtin’ me, doc says it ain’t a heart attack
so I’m lookin’ for Jesus to put me back on track mm mm hmm mm

and I’m one bullet shy of havin’ a good day
but I’d just blow my load or misfire things seem to work out that way
yeah they seem to work out that way

repeat chorus 2
repeat last line 2 more times
mm mm hmm mm
