Craig Finn - New Friend Jesus

Everybody's saying that the lights don't shine
But the lights shine down on me
I've got a new friend and my new friend's name is Jesus

I met him in the parking lot
He took me in his car
I've got a new friend and my new friend's name is Jesus

We rode around all afternoon
He sold me his guitar
I've got a new friend and my new friend's name is Jesus

Now people give me sideways looks
When we set up on the strand
But it's hard

I wish I was with Jesus when I met you
I wish I was with Jesus when I met you
I wish I was with Jesus when I met you
You'd be so impressed with me
You'd give yourself right up to me

Everybody's saying that it's way too warm
But me, I feel a chill
I've got a new friend and my new friend's name is Jesus

We drove around all summer long
We parked behind the bars
I've got a new friend and my new friend's name is Jesus

People say we suck at sports
But they don't understand
It's hard to catch with holes right through your hands

I wish I was with Jesus when you loved me
I wish I was with Jesus when you loved me
I wish I was with Jesus when you loved me
I would have been a better me
That much I can guarantee

Now I'm on your doorstep and you're asking me to leave
You say you don't believe I could ever change so quickly
You say you'll call the cops but even if you do
I'll just love them all the way that Jesus loves me

I've got a new friend and my new friend's name is Jesus
