Black Jesus (Live)

[Verse 1]
Well, I was eighteen, workin' on a road crew in Georgia
And he was a Vietnam vet from Tennessee
And he held the posts while I drove the hammer
Rain or shine, side-by-side, five days a week

[Chorus]
And he taught me the blues
And I’d sing him old Hank Williams tunes
And he'd say, "Boy, only difference between us
Is your white and my Black Jesus"

[Verse 2]
Well, the pay was barely legal
And I wasted mine on Marlboros and booze
And his went to his woman and children
And the rеst he'd bet on anything that moves

[Chorus]
And hе taught me the blues
I’d sing for him old Hank Williams tunes
And he'd say, "Boy, only difference between us
Is your white and my Black Jesus"

[Verse 3]
Well, I woke last night to the sound of thunder
And my mind drifted back to that old man
Well, I ain't seen him since I left Georgia
Something tells me we're gon' meet again

[Chorus]
And he taught me all about the blues
And I'd sing him old Willie Nelson tunes
And he'd say, "Son, only difference between us
Is your white and my Black Jesus"

[Outro]
And when we meet again, there'll be nothing between us
It’ll just be him and me and Jesus

[Interlude]
Thank you all very much, I appreciate that
