about

You don't swear with your Jesus shirt on, do you hometown boy?

lyrics

He breaks a habit for oldtimes sake,
and prays to a god the size of a cake.
If you give him a dollar, then he'll leave you alone
Just don't plan on ever hanging up the phone

Picking out his clothes for broad daylight
Strapping on his boots and he's ready to fight

You don't swear with your Jesus shirt on do you hometown boy?
Not a care in the world when you've got a cross stapled on and ready to deploy

When sunday comin, he asks around
it's ten days past mari gras and a mile past town
Well I left my nice suit back in new orleans
But I don't know where to find a good pair of jeans

Pickin out his clothes for broad daylight
Strappin' on his boots and he's ready to fight

You don't swear with your Jesus shirt on, do you hometown boy?
Not a care in the world when you've got a cross, stapled on and ready to deploy
