Il testo della If jesus was from nashville

If jesus was from nashville
He'd have a sweet guitar
He'd be a country singer
Ya...he'd be a great big star!

If jesus was from nashville
He'd create a media blitz
With a string of number one hits
That would go somethin' like this

I can't do any miracles
In my own home town,
The government's on my back
And my buddies all let me down

If jesus was from nashville
One thing would be quite clear
That he would get a record deal
If he'd turn the water into beer!

If jesus was from nashville
It might seem a little weird
To see him wearin' a cowboy hat
With short hair and no beard!

If jesus was from nashville
Amazin' grace would be his song
And we'd hear it on the juke box
In every honky-tonk!

(along with) i can't do any miracles
In my own home town,
The government's on my back
And my buddies all let me down

If jesus was from nashville
One thing would be quite clear
That he would get a record deal
If he'd turn the water into beer!

If jesus was from nashville
Oh it wouldn't be too long
Before he turned
His sermons into song!

You'd see him at the award show
The only guy in a tux and bare feet
Cause he probably just came in from the farm
Where he was siftin' the tares from the wheat!

If jesus was from nashville
He'd probably have a truck
And drive around in the muck!
When he's not out on tour
In a great big shiny bus!
Travelin' around from town to
Town preachin' to a bunch
Of sinners just like us! just like us!

Ah come on don't get all offended
We're just havin' a little fun
Cause we all know that jesus was
From heaven!

But he couldn't do any miracles
In his own home town,
The government was on his back
And his buddies all let him down

If jesus was from nashville
One thing would be quite clear
That he would probably still
Get crucified right here
Right here
