about

On a trip to Nashville (not songwriting related for me, but all songwriters are required by contract to reference Nashville in conversation) my lovely wife and I randomly met 2 fellas from Old Crow Medicine show, Matt Damon, and an unnamed TV show creator all within an hour before driving home. As I drove home and lovely wife and daughter slept, I mused that had we lingered I may have met Jesus himself next. This song came to me driving home, so I pulled over and scribbled.

lyrics

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……..
