lyrics

Jesus came cruisin' up Highway 61
on his gold & black Harley-Davidson
With two flags whippin' over twin tailpipes-
the POW-MIA and the Stars & Stripes
He had a lit cigar clenched in between his teeth
As he passed me by he sipped a beer and winked at me

Well it's alcohol, tobacco, and firearms
He said, "it sounds like a party to me"
Alcohol, tobacco and firearms
Ain't that the way Jesus wanted it to be?

With an iron cross sticker on his license tag
and a 30-06 strapped to his saddlebag
We've got 35 bottles set up on the back fence
One for every 100 dollars that he owes in back rents
From 60 yards we've already hit 34
After one more bottle we'll drink 35 more

'Cause it's alcohol, tobacco, and firearms
Said, "it sounds like a party to me"
Alcohol, tobacco and firearms
Ain't that the way Jesus wanted it to be?
