From Charlie:
There was this very, very drunk guy giving a Sermon on the Mount kind of thing and threatening people with eternal damnation if they wouldn’t buy him a drink. He seemed to believe that he was Jesus. It was sad, funny, and frightening all at the same time. I didn’t think about writing a...
Jesus at the Kenmore Lyrics
I met Jesus at the Kenmore
And he said I'm going to heaven
He said that he'd meet me there
After his last round
When the waitress hollered last call
And turned on all the lights
I saw Jesus at the Kenmore
All drunk up last night
He wasn't wearing a long robe
He had tennies on his feet
He'd gotten a little older
And his eyes looked kinda beat
He was wearing one of those ball-caps
On the front it read
I'd rather push my Ford than drive a Chevrolet
He was gettin kinda belligerent
They tried to throw him out
He pulled a smoke from behind his ear
And he began to shout
Sayin I'm bringin you guys a message
And if there's any doubt
You'd better straighten up and fly right
Or you know I'll take you out
We all just sat and stared
Waiting for his next move
But Jesus just tugged his beard
And ordered him a brew
The waitress hollered last call
We all bought him a round
I met Jesus at the Kenmore
And he almost took us down
