New Friend Jesus

Everybody's saying that the lights don't shine
But the lights shine down on me
I got a new friend and my new friend's name is Jesus
I met him in the parking lot,
He took me in his car
I got a new friend and my new friend's name is Jesus
We rode around whole afternoon,
He sold me his guitar
I got a new friend and my new friend's name is Jesus
Now people give me sideways looks
When we set up on the strand
It's hard to suck with Jesus in your band

I wish I was with Jesus when I met you
I wish I was with Jesus when I met you
I wish I was with Jesus when I met you
You'd be so impressed with me
You'd give yourself right up to me

Everybody's saying that it's way too warm
But me I feel a chill
I got a new friend and my new friend's name is Jesus
When all those creeps came after me
I paid off all my bills
I got a new friend and my new friend's name is Jesus
We drove around all summer long
We parked behind the bars
I got a new friend and my new friend's name is Jesus
People say we suck at sports
But they don't understand
It's hard to catch with holes right through your hands

Wish I was with Jesus when you loved me
Wish I was with Jesus when you loved me
Wish I was with Jesus when you loved me
I would have found a better me
That much I can guarantee

Now I'm on your doorstep and you're asking me to leave
Said you don't believe I could ever change so quickly
Say you'll call the cops, but even if you do
I'll just love them all the way that Jesus loves me

I got a new friend and my new friend's name is Jesus
I got a new friend and my new friend's name is Jesus
I got a new friend and my new friend's name is Jesus
I got a new friend and my new friend's name is Jesus
