Everybody's saying that the lights don't shine
But the lights shine down on me
I 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 got a new friend and my new friend's name is Jesus
We rode around whole afternoon, He sold me His guitar
I 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
It's hard to s** with Jesus in your band
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 got a new friend and my new friend's name is Jesus
When all those creeps came after me, I paid off all my bills
I got a new friend and my new friend's name is Jesus
We drove around all summer long, we parked behind the bars
I got a new friend and my new friend's name is Jesus
People say we s** at sports but they don't understand
It's hard to catch with holes right through your hands
Wish I was with Jesus when you loved me
Wish I was with Jesus when you loved me
Wish I was with Jesus when you loved me
I would have found a better me
That much I can guarantee
Now I'm on your doorstep and you're asking me to leave
Said you don't believe I could ever change so quickly
Say you'll call the cops but even if you do
I'll just love them all the way that Jesus loves me
I got a new friend and my new friend's name is Jesus
I got a new friend and my new friend's name is Jesus
I got a new friend and my new friend's name is Jesus
I got a new friend and my new friend's name is Jesus
