lyrics

HIGH UPON THE CROSS

my wife she smokes all the time
the pipe, the joint, and the cig
even when she's out of town
on tour, playing a gig

if i had a dollar for every joint i smoked
i'd buy myself a big fat stash for all my friends to toke
if i rolled a number for every friend i lost
i'd try to bring them back to me, no matter what it cost

i'm not high on Jesus hanging high upon the cross
i'm not tryin' to be the master, i'm not tryin' to be the boss
i'll learn you how to teach if you teach me how to learn
spark me up a flame and let the fire burn

my children, they are lazy
they just like to play games
sometimes it drives me crazy
i love them just the same

if they had a dollar for every time i let them win
they could buy wings to fly and get closer to him
if Jesus had a puppet and the devil had a pipe
i'd ask to see a prophet, they'd ask me for a light (and puff it)

myself, i'm OK
i could be your brother
i'd be cleaning up all day
you wouldn't need to bother

if i had a Pabst for every shot i've chugged
i'd put them in a paper bag and give myself a hug
if i had a country song for every girl i loved
i'd send them on a rainbow to the angels up above
