Jesus Gonna Be Here

Tom Waits

Well, Jesus will be here 
Be here soon 
he's gonna cover us up with leaves 
With a blanket from the moon 
With a promise and a vow 
And a lullaby for my brow 
Jesus gonna be here 
Be here soon 

Well I'm just gonna wait here 
I don't have to shout 
I have no reason and 
I have no doubt 
I'm gonna get myself 
Unfurled from this mortal coiled up world 
Because Jesus gonna be here 
Be here soon 

I got to keep my eyes open 
So I can see my Lord 
I'm gonna watch the horizon 
For a brand new Ford 

I can hear him rolling on down the lane 
I said Hollywood be thy name 
Jesus gonna be 
Gonna be here soon 

Well I've been faithful 
And I've been so good 
Except for drinking 
But he new that I would 
I'm gonna leave this place better 
Than the way I found it was 
And Jesus gonna be here 
Be here soon
