Well I think that I wish I could hang out with Jesus I’d ask how his mom was doin’ these days I’d ask ….. if he still did some carpenter stuff Like a hobby just for something to do We could go grab a bite…… if he said he was hungry ‘N I’d say…… “Hey this one’s on me” I’d order the fish and a small piece of bread And drink wine like we was gettin’ it free I might even mention that my shoulder’s been hurtin’ Or how much I miss my Old Man N’ I’ll try not to stare at the scars on his head Or the holes in his side and his hands I Know if I met him He’d leave an impression But I don’t think, I’d impress him I think ..that I wish ..I could hang out with Jesus Cuz I ain’t good at makin’ amends We might go fishin’ or wade on the creek I’m gonna leave that to him I might stay dry ‘n just wait on the shore If he wants to go for a swim I might take Him ‘round to meet all my friends If he don’t yet know who they are My Chevy’s broke down, so maybe I’ll ask “Have you ever laid hands on a car” ‘N I know if I met Him He’d leave and impression....... …..... My whole world would be different This I know…… If I could get close enough just to touch… the hem of his coat I hope he don’t notice that my feet are all dirty I never can get em clean I think that I wish I could hang out with Jesus, Least I think, if you know what I mean ‘Cuz I know if I met Him……..

I met a gal she was cute as a pup I commenced to chattin’ her up We was gettin’ along real nice Like Adam and Eve in Paradise She whispered softly in my ear Words I never thought hear Took her by the hand Led ‘er down the hall Right out the door, that’s it , that’s all ‘N I said, “Whad’ya mean, you don’t llike dogs? How you think you n me could ever get along? You look all right, but you’re heart’s all wrong. Whad’ya mean, you don’t like dogs? She said “A bird would make a real nice pet. “ An alpaca that’d be better yet” She mentioned other pets she tried I never let her back inside She said “ A dog’ll bark and smell, And shed and hump your leg as well” So I said “ Yea, that stuff is true, But they make a better friend than you” Ch. “Whad’ya mean……. Br. They say that A dog is a man’s best friend And dogs just love women too The Truth is every now and then A little hump on the leg is good for you Ch. Whad’ya mean……

Oh Possum 03:13
Oh Possum, Oh Possum, OR just Possum, OK You play dead so well, for survival they say You lie there so still just a holdin' your breath, I can't hardly tell you're a fakin' your death __Possum, __Possum, you're silent and scary I din't see your name in no o bit u ary U lie like a rug, Almost didn't see ya Like a Thi---in crust pizza, Or a Crispy Tortilla POSSUM OH Possum, U got it down pat, U been at it now, for 2 hours flat If I'z like JESUS I'd command U ARISE, N just like before, there'd be lite n ur eyes Your friends come around, to join in the game, They seem kinda frantic as they call out your name They must be impressed, and I'm impressed too, But you just look PRESSED, I guess that's what you do. Ain't Funny no more You gone way too far Allright, you win I'm back in my car You can lie there all day I don't really care But just so you know That's a buzzard up there.

There is a mountain up ahead Don't know how you'll climb it But there it is And You'll Get Over It A little bit at a time. Your One True Love has gone away You Cry an You Cry an You Cry and you Cry all day But You'll Get Over It A little bit at a time. We want What we want and when do we want it, we want it Right away Now we know it ain't gonna go down like that We Wait and We wait and we wait and then we wake up one day We pick ourselves up n We Kick ourselve up inna mmm Mmm Mmm Ask yourself a question Will You make up your mind You gotta Believe so you can... Leave the mess behind And You'll Get Over It... A Little Bit At a Time You never felt worse, than you do right now You gotta go on but you just don't see how But You'll Get Over it A Little bit at a time It ain't the first time (Sure) ain't the last One day at a time and it will all be past And You'll Get Over It a little bit at a time

Wants 03:27
If I was smart, I could be the president Or maybe not, I guess it all depends. Ya gotta be tricky, Gotta be ….sneaky too. But if I was smart, that's what I would do. If I was cool, I could be a rock star, Fly all around the world, I wouldnt even need a car But I don't wear leather N I don't want no tattoos But if I was cool, that's what I would do. Everybody wants, 2 be somebody I just wanna be myself. Everybody wants, to be UNIQUE Just like every body else. If I was God, We'd start all over, take it from the top Or maybe not, But I would make all the bullshit stop But I can't work miracles.... I can't tolerate fools But if I was God, that's what I'd hafta do. Everybody wants, 2 be somebody I just wanna be myself. Everybody wants, 2 be UNIQUE Just like everybody else. If I was SMART, if I was COOL, if I was GOD, No Tellin what I would do.

Love to Hate 05:20
The World is a messed up place But that ain't nothin new I think we can fix it This is what we do If we treat each other like married partners Y'know... take care of someone elses needs...before your own needs... Then In turn, they take care of you. (Sometimes) Seriously, in a healthy relationship both parties know you're not always gonna get your way... BUT Keep lookin out for one another, Things get better n better n better Then you don't have to fight for what you need....but ….you do have to die just a little bit. Columbus sailed the Ocean blue Found some Indians to screw I didn't do it, neither did you That was back in 1492 But I think I know the reason why We Love to hate the other guy This country ain't just Red and Blue It's Black and White and Rainbow 2 There's Good and Bad, No Matter Who You can't change anyone but you It's Easier to Crucify We Love to Hate the other guy Well Jesus took a Cut in Pay He came down to the Earth 1 day Tried to show us Love that's True So we kicked his ass n we killed him 2 Somebody Wins Somebody dies Cuz we Love to Hate the other guy Jesus took a cut in pay Came down to the earth one day It's a shame that fella had to die and we Love to Hate the other guy
