Been drivin’ all night with a thorn in my side.<\/div>\n
Looked over at the passenger side<\/div>\n
and Jesus had died.<\/div>\n
What would we do now, I got him too drunk at the dance.<\/div>\n
Tried to get him to waltz but he hovered ‘bove the ground in a trance.<\/div>\n
The only time that it was fine was when the rowdy fellows yelled for wine.<\/div>\n
And then the place was flooded with Merlot as if by happenstance.<\/div>\n

The bouncer said an hour later he’d looked like he’d died.<\/div>\n
“Here, put him on this cross and we can move him through the back outside.”<\/div>\n
