GJesus the Mexican boy, Born in a Ctruck on the fourth of July
Gave me a carGd with a lady naked on the Dback 
GBarefoot at night on the road, Fireworks Cblooming above in the sky 
GI never knew I was given the besDt one from the Gdeck 
AmHe never wanted Cnothing I remembGer 
AmMaybe a broken bCottle if I had tDwo 
AmHanging behind his holy Ceven temper G  
AmHiding the more Cunholy things I Ddo 
GJesus the Mexican boy, Gave me a Cride on the back of his bike 
Out to the faGir though I welched on a $5 Dbet 
GDrunk on Calliope songs, We met Ca home-wrecking carnival girl 
He's never asGked for a favor Dor the money Gyet 
GJesus the Mexican boy, Born in a Ctruck on the 4th of July       
I fell iGn love with his sister unrepentaDntly 
GFearing he wouldn't approve, We Cmade a lie that was feeble at best 
Boarded Ga train bound for Vegas and Dmarried secretGly 
AmI never gave him Cnothing I rememGber 
AmMaybe a broken bCottle if I had tDwo 
AmHanging behind his holy Ceven temper G  
AmHiding the more Cunholy things I Ddo 
GJesus the Mexican boy, Wearing a Clong desert trip on his tie 
Lo and bGehold he was standing under the welcome Dsign 
GNaked the Judas in me, Fell by tChe tracks but he lifted me high
Kissing Gmy head like a brother and Dnever asking Gwhy
