Jesus On A Greyhound Lyrics - Love, Shelby - Shelby Lynne

I was on my way to somewhere to the Mexicali sand 

A man sat down beside me, he had scars upon his hands 

He told me some stories, I told him some lies 

Light shone in the darkness, cast shadows from my mind 

His eyes they looked right through me, oh I knew he carried weight 

Something real was going down that day 

Oh I told him, "I'm a sinner" 

He said, "That's okay" 

I'm not here to change you anyway 

He was gone when I turned around 

Was that Jesus? Jesus on a Greyhound 

We talked about the world gone bad, the trouble we had seen 

We talked about the dirt brown shoes he wore on his feet 

He said, "I'm tired and weary, I've been riding a long way 

Let me rest my eyes for now, let me drift away" 

Oh he acted like he knew me and then he fell asleep 

I had no more secrets I could keep 

Oh I told him, "I'm a sinner" 

He said, "That's okay" 

I'm not here to change you anyway 

He was gone when I turned around 

Was that Jesus? Was that Jesus on a Greyhound? 

Somewhere in the sunlit mornin' 

I stepped off the bus in the middle of the city of angels 

And that long haired hippie was up and gone 

Where devils run and play and lust lookin' for the danger 

Oh and I looked at my feet and saw the shoes that he had worn 

And thank God for that beautiful stranger 

Was that Jesus? 

Was that Jesus? 

Was that Jesus? 

Oh I told him, "I'm a sinner" 

He said, "That's okay" 

I'm not here to change you anyway 

He was gone when I turned around 

Was that Jesus? Jesus on a Greyhound? 

Was that Jesus on a Greyhound today? 

And I'll rise again 

Oh there ain't no power on earth can keep me down 

Say and I'll rise, I'll rise again 

Oh ain't no death can keep me in the ground 

Was that Jesus? 

Was that Jesus on the Greyhound? 

Was that Jesus?
