When Jesus left Birmingham
All the disciples went crazy
When Jesus left Birmingham
All the people went completely nuts
They all busted out on a wild night
Riding high on a golden calf
When Jesus left Birmingham
All the people had themselves a big long laugh
Well my girl, she’s a walker
And she can talk herself out of any mess
My girl, she don’t pray
But somehow she seems still to be blessed
And when those crazy nights come callin'
Man, she’ll dance on the tables
Like all of the rest
When my girl left Birmingham
She was doing what she thought was best
It’s all free on the inside
I passed a very uncomfortable feeling last night
Save us right now, we need you…
To hell with all the lies and liars
Recovery, recovery, I don’t know about any recovery
Inside, gotta get inside
Inside
I see myself with a rosary
I’m in a garden and I’m talking to myself
I ain’t sayin' much worth repeating
Just askin' for forgiveness and all of his best
When those crazy nights come callin'
Man, I’m just as human as I can be When Jesus left Birmingham
He left it there for you and me When Jesus left Birmingham
He left it there for you and me So let it rock, let it roll
Let the Bible Belt come and save my soul
THIS SONG IS ABSOLUTELY AMAZZZZZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Did you guys hear at the end he mixes lyrics to "Jack and Diane" in there!? AWESOME!
I recall the first time I ever heard this...I had to physically stop everything I was doing and experience it...ran out and bought the entire album. To me it is his magnum opus, the finest thing he ever did; an exquisite mix of rock, gospel, funk...a work of art.
Dudes. Listen up. Jesus was a Jew! He NEVER was Christian! His name in English is JOSHUA! Like Yahweh, "the Father". AND Yeshua, "The Son". He was actually a Hindu YOGI! Like a Guru. Like the Buddah. And Mahatma Ghandi. Marley. Hendrix. And the list goes on and on... GOT IT????
I was 9 years old when this was filmed at Monroe reservoir campground. My grandpa has about two hours of filming on his camcorder and I still watch every now and then. It brings back memories of him to watch his tape. I recently dug it out and watched it and decided to see if I could find it on here having been unsuccessful in the past. I was very happy when I found this and it was definitely a blast from the past. Also I got to help by feeding leaves into a bonfire to make smoke which can be seen in this video. Good memories!
found the camp site from a comment below on google. found the exact location at munroe reservoir campsite. Also birmingham not far from his home town seymour. Thought birmingham could refer to the anti christian intellectual crap that came out of the universities.
