JESUS SAVES

As recorded by Riley Green

(2024 release)

Capo 1st fret

Intro

Verse 1

There was a man I used to pass on my way into tow

n

He was covered in dirt like the world had beat him down

I often wondered how he ended up like that

So

one day, drivin' home, I pulled over to ask

I said, "Man,

where'd did it all go

wrong?"

He said, "Son, do you

really wanna

know?"

My daddy

left for another wo

man, moved off

to L.A.

My momma fought

hard against that

cancer, she

died when I was eight

I finished

school, my country

shipped me off to war

When I

came home, my

whole world didn't

love me anymorе

Chorus

It's

hard to see all

that when you're drivin'

by

So

I just write down, "

Jesus Saves" 'causе there

ain't no way I can fit that on

a sign

I can't fit

that on a

sign

Verse 2

I took him to a diner, I bought him a cup of coffee

He asked me if he could bum a couple dollars off me

He told me his

story, I told

mine

He said, "Thanks 'cause most

folks around here would

never take the time"

He said, "

I lost my

job down at the

mill when that

factory closed

Army stopped

sendin' me them

checks, the bank took

everything I owned"

Hitchhiked my

way up to Chi

cago, the

nights were too damn

cold

I hopped the

train, headed west

'cause I had

nowhere else to go

Chorus

It's hard to see

all that drivin' by

So

I just write down, "

Jesus Saves" 'causе there

ain't no way I can fit that on

a sign

There ain't no way to

fit that on a

sign

Verse 3

I probably would've wrote

down a little

more

If I

could've found a

bigger piece of

cardboard

My brother

Walter was my

hero

But he was

bad to drink

One night, he

laid his Harley

down

Near that O

hio River Bank

Me and my ex-

wife tried for

kids when we were datin'

Hell, we even had

baby names picked

out

But little Walter

didn't make it

[Out-Chorus]

It's hard to see

all that drivin' by

So

I just write down, "

Jesus Saves" 'cause there

ain't no way I can fit that on

a sign

Can't fit

all that on

a sign
