Jon Hanson songs

You've heard of writing the crap out of a song--I think I just about got it all out. I originally wrote this with lot's of political protest stuff about the bail outs. But the song was too much fun so I wrote in the 2nd verse about the apostles, redid the 1st and this latest change is trying to give the chorus a positive spin. ..."from when Detroit was riding high." Instead of bellyaching about the fall. Dale is on guitar. Below is a picture of a Powerstroke Rollin on 35's (maybe bigger) lot's of folks ask me what that line means....

normal">115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"">What Would Jesus Drive?

Lord I’ve been thinking about—buying—a brand new car

But there are so many makes ya know it’s kind of hard

Out of the corner of my eye I thought I saw Jesus

But it turned out it was only a hippie in a Prius

Chorus:

YEAH I WANT TO KNOW—WHAT WOULD JESUS DRIVE?

MAYBE A POWERSTROKE BLOWIN’ SMOKE AND ROLLIN’ ON THIRTY-FIVES!

OR SOME GM MUSCLE—FROM WHEN DETROIT WAS RIDIN’ HIGH?

YEAH I WANT TO KNOW—WHAT WOULD JESUS DRIVE!

Well the Bible says the apostles were all—in one Accord

‘cept Judas ridin’ with Lucifer in a red GT Ford

Moses likes a Jeep ‘cause crossing the desert is hard

And I know ole Noah—likes them amphibious cars!!

Repeat Chorus

Short instrumental 2 lines

Bridge

Lord I know it’s sin to take your name in vain

But when I saw those prices I just about went insane!

Repeat Chorus
