john prine? anyone?
jesus-the missing years

now jesus had it good
and he loved his mom and dad
sweet mary and joseph of bethlehem
hahha, well that was the only last name they had,
and they raised him right
and they knew him to be good
and she taught him to cook,
and he taught him to shape wood
and he grew up tall
and he grew up fast
he came in first
he came in last
he learned alot
from his teachers and freinds,
and he had ideas and thoughts,
about life, and the end.

so it was mid july
and jesus was twelve years old
and west bethlehem, was no place for him
it was foreign familiar and cold,
so jesus set out
and he picked up his boots
and he walked on down to the docks
and got back to his roots
he joined up on a boat
went to fish out the sea
went to rome
went to spain
ended up in galilee
sang a song to a man
who began to himself follow
the words of jesus, just 13
he found it hard to swallow
and so he set out
to find himself a home
he packed up his bags
and he sailed on to rome.

now rome was madness at this time, and jesus was about 16 by the time he made it there, so he knew how to handle himself a little bit, hed met some people, got in some fights, he said alot of things nad not everyone liked it, but they knew he was willing to die for his words once they got ahold of him, hehehe jesus was a scrappy little piece of crap at this point. he thought he knew alot about the world, and he had some good ideas, but he had a long way to go...

so jesus bought a little flat
and the lower east side,
of rome
and he met a beautiful mary there,
and he invited her into his home
and he started a life
and he started to love
and he learned from his wife
words came from above
and he learned from his father
and he learned from his sons
and he learned from his daughter
but he had only one.

and so jesus was 30
and hed lived alot
and hed spoken with heaven
and hed looked in his soul
and he found his ideals and his body to be whole
so he went and he let them put his corpse in a hole
cause he knew it was a fact that his bones would roll
