800 Pound Jesus - Sawyer Brown

I saw a garage sale, pulled up in the yard

Found a statue of Jesus, it was eight feet tall

He held out His arms, and He seemed all alone

So I loaded Him up, and I drove Him home

Out by my driveway, He looks down the street

Long hair and sandals made of rebar and concrete

I painted Him white with a long purple robe

He’s a Rock of Ages on our gravel road

He’s an eight-hundred pound Jesus

Standing taller than a tree

He’s an eight-hundred pound Jesus

A bigger man than you or me

I thought losing my job was the end of the world

'Til my best pal ran off with my best girl

I felt suicidal with no real friends

So I walked outside with a rope in my hand

Out by the statue there’s a big old tree

So I stood on His shoulders and I counted to three

I had every intention of buying the farm

But when I jumped off, He caught me in His arms

He’s an eight-hundred pound Jesus

Standing taller than a tree

He’s an eight-hundred pound Jesus

A bigger man than you or me

I wanted to return the favor to Him

'Cause I never had a more solid friend

So I planted some flowers all around His feet

And I bought Him a flock of ceramic sheep

He’s an eight-hundred pound Jesus

Standing taller than a tree

He’s an eight-hundred pound Jesus

A bigger man than you or me

He’s a bigger man than you or me

Yeah
