High on Jesus<br>

<br>

(Kinky Friedman)<br>

<br>

Walking down Division Street<br>

I happened on to meet<br>

A stranger with a package in his hand.<br>

He said, “Mister, if you follow me<br>

Rainbow colors you will see,<br>

I’ll take your head into the Promised Land.”<br>

“Friend, I don’t need your stuff,<br>

My Jesus is enough.<br>

You see them colors bright,<br>

Why can’t you see the light ?”<br>

<br>

Let’s get high on Jesus, high on Jesus,<br>

I believe that He was here in town.<br>

Flying high on Jesus, high on Jesus,<br>

I’m so high I’m never coming down.<br>

<br>

One man buys a nickel sack,<br>

Another buys a Cadillac,<br>

They both think they will drive their cares away.<br>

But neither thinks to lend a hand<br>

To help his struggling fellow man,<br>

They’d better buy their tickets now for Judgment Day.<br>

<br>

Oh, friend, let’s try to score<br>

For peace and not for war,<br>

For love and not for hate<br>

Before it gets too late.<br>

<br>

Let’s get high on Jesus, high on Jesus,<br>

Ain’t you ever heard the Nashville sound ?<br>

Flying high on Jesus, high on Jesus,<br>

I guess, my friend, the Lord still gets around.<br>

<br>

An angry mob confronted me<br>

By the university,<br>

“Down with this and down with that” they cried.<br>

A burning bottle in his hand,<br>

A long-haired youth screamed, “Come on, man,<br>

The conscience of America has died!”<br>

<br>

“Friend, I don’t get my kicks<br>

Starting fires and throwing bricks,<br>

I pray someday you find<br>

The gentle reason I’m<br>

<br>

So high on Jesus, high on Jesus,<br>

They tried to put His body under ground.<br>

Flashing high on Jesus, high on Jesus,<br>

But friend, you just can’t keep the good man down.”<br>

<br>

Oh, let’s get high on Jesus, high on Jesus,<br>

They tried to put His body under ground.<br>

Flashing high on Jesus, high on Jesus,<br>

But friend, you just can’t keep the good man down.<br>

<br>
