Текст песни When Jesus Left Birmingham - John Mellencamp

When Jesus left Birmingham
All the disciples went crazy
When Jesus left Birmingham
All the people went completely nuts
They all busted out on a wild night
Riding high on a golden calf
When Jesus (Jesus) left Birmingham (left Birmingham)
All the people had themselves a big long laugh

Well my girl, she′s a walker
And she can talk herself out of any mess
My girl, she don't pray
But somehow she seems still to be blessed
And when those crazy nights come callin′
Man, she'll dance on the tables
Like all of the rest
When my girl (my girl) left Birmingham (left Burmingham)
She was doing what she thought was best

It's all free on the inside
I passed a very uncomfortable feeling last night (It′s all free on the inside)
Save us right now, we need you (I passed a very uncomfortable feeling last night)
To hell with all the lies and liars (we need you right now, right now, save us, we need you)
(Yes, we need you, right now, stop before you stop, save us now)
Recovery, recovery, I don′t know about any recovery (save us now, we need you right now)
Inside, gotta get inside (save us right now, save right now)
Inside (right now)

I see myself with a rosary
I'm in a garden and I′m talking to myself
I ain't sayin′ much worth repeating
Just askin' for forgiveness and all of his best
When those crazy nights come callin′
Man, I'm just as human as I can be
When Jesus (when Jesus) left Birmingham (left Birmingham)
He left it there (he left it there) for you and me (hey)
When Jesus (when Jesus) left Birmingham (left Birmingham)
He left it there (he left it there) for you and me (for you)

So let it rock, let it roll
Let the Bible Belt come and save my soul
So let it rock, let it roll
Let the Bible Belt come and save my soul
So let it rock (will you let it rock), let it roll (will you let it roll)
Let the Bible Belt (let the Bible Belt) save my soul (save my soul)
So let it rock (won't you let it rock) let it roll (let it roll)
Let the Bible Belt (let the Bible Belt) save my soul (save my soul)
Will you let it rock (will you let it rock) will you let it roll (will you let it roll)
Let the Bible Belt come and save my soul (save my soul)
Will you let it rock (will you let it rock) will you let it roll (will you let it roll)
Let the Bible Belt (let the Bible) save my soul (save my soul)
Will you let it rock (will you let it rock) will you let it roll (oh yeah)
Let the Bible Belt (let the Bible Belt) save my soul (save my soul)
Oh you let it rock (oh you let it rock)
