800 POUND JESUS
Sung By: Sawyer Brown
Album: Drive Me Wild
Transcribed by: Sharlee Maher
D G
I saw a garage sale Pulled up in the yard
D A
Found a statue of Jesus That was 8 feet tall
D G
He held out his arms And he seemed all alone
D G A
So I loaded him up And I drove him home
D G
Out by my driveway He looks down the street
D A
Long hair and sandals Made of rebar and concrete
D G
I painted him white With a long purple robe
D G A
He's the rock of ages On a gravel road
Chorus:
D A G A G Em A
He's an 800 pound Jesus Standing taller then a tree
D A G A G A D
He's and 800 pound Jesus A bigger man then you or me
I thought loosin my job Was the end of the world
Till my best pal Ran off with my best girl
I felt suicidal With no real friend
So I walked outside With a rope in my hand
Out by the statue There's a big oak tree
So I hopped on that statue And counted to three
I had every intention of buying the farm
But when I jumped off he caught me in his arms
I wanted to return the favor to him
Cause I never had a more solid friend
So I planted some flowers all around his feet
And I bought him a flock of ceramic sheep
Once again, hope it sounds as good to you as it does to me. Any input would

God Bless!
