Loudon Wainwright III
Jesus in a Camper Van
[Verse 1]
Ooh, we've got a live one, featherweight icon
Heroes let 'im down so he sleeps with the
Light on
And there's nothin' left to do but kneel down and pray
Sail away with Caesar if you're a nonbeliever
Everybody gets high if you're a
Diamond geezer
It's the devil that needs ya so go out and play

[Pre-Chorus]
Blame yourself it's easier
There's no need to trouble her, you trouble her

[Chorus]
Jesus in a camper van He said sorry to
Leave you but I've done all I can
I suppose even the son of God
Gets it hard sometimes
Especially when he goes around
Saying I am the way

[Verse 2]
And now it's four in the mornin' yes yes y'all in
No one can shoot but everybody's scoring
Trust me it's boring get down and pray
They told you not to meddle with the bass and
The treble
There's dust on your needle and you think that You're a rebel
You're Evel Knievel so get down and pray
[Pre-Chorus]
Blame yourself it's easier
There's no need to trouble her, you trouble her

[Chorus]
Jesus in a camper van He said sorry to
Leave you but I've done all I can
I suppose even the son of God
Gets it hard sometimes
Especially when he goes around
Saying I am the way

[Bridge]
I am the way, I am the way, I am the way
I am the way
I am, I am, I am, I am, I am, I am the way

[Chorus]
Jesus in a camper van he said sorry to
Leave you but I've done all I can
I suppose even the son of God
Gets it hard sometimes
Jesus in a camper van he said sorry to
Leave you but I've done all I can
I suppose even the son of God
Gets it hard sometimes
[Pre-Chorus]
Blame yourself it's easier
There's no need to trouble her
Blame yourself it's easier
There's no need to trouble her

[Chorus]
Jesus in a camper van he said sorry to
Leave you but I've done all I can
I suppose even the son of God
Gets it hard sometimes

[Chorus]
Jesus in a camper van He said sorry to
Leave you but I've done all I can
I suppose even the son of God
Gets it hard sometimes
Especially when he goes around
Saying I am the way
Jesus in a camper van he said sorry to
Leave you but I've done all I can
I suppose even the son of God
Gets it hard sometimes
