lyrics

i was born, a barefoot baby, in the church
a barefoot little child, a long haired barefoot hippy
but one day i looked down
and saw that everybody else
had come with boots on

i saw jesus
pissin' on a railroad tie
i saw my father
runnin' on along behind

i heard jesus
sayin' "boy this is my last time!"
i heard my father
he cried! he cried! he cried!

i heard jesus
sayin' "here it comes, now, down the line!"
i heard my father
"why, lord? why? lord, why?"

i saw jesus
just standin' with his hands at his sides
i saw my father
he was runnin' with his hands held high

and i saw that freight-train
a blur as it barreled by
blind! blind! blind!

i saw my father
on the floor with his head in the sky
i heard my father
he said "i tried! i tried! i tried!"
