Song lyrics Jesus Gonna Be Here by Tom Waits

Well, Jesus gonna be here
He gonna be here soon, yeah
He gonna cover us up with leaves
With a blanket from the moon, yeah
With a promise and a vow
And a lullaby for my brow
Jesus gonna be here
He gonna be here soon, yeah

And I?m not gonna do nothin? but wait here
I don?t have to shout, yeah
I got me no reason, yeah
And I got no doubt, yeah
I?m gonna get myself unfurled
From this mortal coiled up world
Jesus gonna be here
Gonna be here soon, yeah

I got to keep my eyes, keep ?em wide open, yeah
So I can see my Lord, yeah
I?m gonna watch that old horizon
For my brand new Ford, yeah
Well, I can hear him rolling on down the lane
I said Hollywood be thy name
Cause Jesus gonna be here
He gonna be here soon, yeah

Well, I got to keep myself, I must keep myself faithful
And you know that I?ve been so good, yeah
Except for drinking
But he knew that I would, yeah
And then I?m gonna leave this place better
Than the way I found that it was
And Jesus gonna be here
He gonna be here soon, yeah

I know my Jesus gonna be here
He gonna be here soon, yeah
I know my Jesus gonna be here
Gonna be here soon, yeah
