she packed up my bags and put them out on the corner
she changed all the locks and said it was over
i said hey baby don't you still love me?
her eyes rolled to the back of her head as she told me
you smell of cheap wine, liquor & other women
you waste all your time on selfish ambitions
and you've got the gall to want an explanation
that smirk on your face and your dark disposition
i oughta curse you to hell for all the evil you've done
and if Jesus loves you
Jesus is the only one
i know i've lived fast & i know i've lived hard
i've cheated my friends & i've broken my word
i struggle each day under this load
as i stumble on down to the end of the road
and try as i might i can't seem to change
so i drink but the drink wont dilute the shame
and i can't undo all the evil i've done
so if Jesus loves me
Jesus is the only one
as i reminisce in my final days
time may stretch back to the words that she said
or fade they just might & all that remains
is the way that i've felt since that girl walked away
funny how you reap all the seeds that you've sown
my body has withered but my soul hasn't grown
but at least i regret all the things that i've done
but if Jesus loves me
Jesus is the only one
