Long Haired Hippie Redneck Jesus Lyrics

I don't know about Heaven but I've sure walked through hell

I've spent my life locked inside of this lonesome prison cell

The door was always open, though I stumbled through the dark

It took me way too long to let Jesus in my heart

They call me long haired hippie redneck Jesus

Well I ain't Jesus but I'm sure trying to be

They call me long haired hippie redneck Jesus

But I drink too much beer and smoke too much weed

My friends know I can get rowdy

And I've told few lies

I've my share of women

Lord they leave me high and dry

I tried to drink away my sorrows with a bottle of red wine

That barstool gets wobbly when it comes closing time

They call me long haired hippie redneck Jesus

Well I ain't Jesus but I'm sure trying to be

They call me long haired hippie redneck Jesus

But I drink too much beer and smoke too much weed

I spent my time trying to fill a hole the size of infinity

But finding love in Jesus was the only remedy

With Christ I was crucified

I gave myself to thee

Now it's no longer I who live

But Christ who lives in me

They call me long haired hippie redneck Jesus

Well I ain't Jesus but I'm sure trying to be

They call me long haired hippie redneck Jesus

But I drink too much beer and smoke too much weed

I'm lowdown dirty sinner

My heart is made of stone

Samson killed a thousand men with an ole jawbone

I've boasted and I've lusted for my sins I cannot atone

Through the Lord's forgiveness he's gonna take me home

They call me long haired hippie redneck Jesus

Well I ain't Jesus but I'm sure trying to be

They call me long haired hippie redneck Jesus

I came as I was and he set me free
