Lyrics:

There's a light on yonder mountain

And it's callin’ me to shine

There's a girl over by the water fountain

And she's askin’ to be mine

And Jesus is standin’ in the doorway

In a buckskin jacket, boots and spurs so fine

He says, “We need you son tonight up in Dodge City'

’Cause there's just too many outlaws tryin’ to work the same line”

Now if Jesus was a sheriff and I was the priest

If my lady was an heiress and my Mama was a thief

If Papa rode shotgun for the Fargo line

There's still too many bad boys tryin’ to work the same line

Well sweet Virgin Mary runs the Holy Grail saloon

For a nickel she’ll give you whiskey and a personally blessed balloon

And the Holy Ghost is the host with the most, he runs the burlesque show

Where they’ll let you in for free and they hit you when you go

Mary serves Mass on Sunday and then she sells her body on Monday

To the bootlegger who pays the highest price

He don't know he got stuck with a loser, she's a stone junkie what’s more she’s a user

She's only been made once or twice by some kind of magic

If Jesus was a sheriff and I was the priest

If my lady was an heiress and my Mama was a thief

And Papa rode shotgun on the Fargo line

There's still too many outlaws tryin’ to work the same line

Well things ain't been the same in heaven since big bad Bobby came to town

He's been known to down eleven, then ask for another round

Me, I’ve got scabs on my knees from kneeling way too long

It’s about time I played the man and took a stand where I belong

Forget about the old friends and the old times

There's just too many new boys tryin’ to work the same line

If Jesus was a sheriff and I were the priest

If my lady was an heiress and my Mama was a thief

And Papa rode shotgun for the Fargo line

There's just too many outlaws tryin’ to work the same line

Well there's a light on yonder mountain

And it's callin’ me to shine

There's a girl over by the water fountain

She's asking to be mine

Jesus is standin’ in the doorway

Six guns drawn and ready to fan

Said, “We need you son tonight up in Dodge City"

I told him I was already overdue for Cheyenne

If Jesus was the sheriff and I was the priest

If my lady was an heiress and my Mama was a thief

And Papa rode shotgun on the Fargo line

There's still too many bad boys tryin’ to work the same line

If Jesus was the sheriff and I was the priest

If my lady was an heiress and my Mama was a thief

And Papa rode shotgun on the Fargo line

There's still too many bad boys tryin’ to work the same line

If Jesus was the sheriff and I was the priest
