I don′t know about Heaven but I've sure walked through hell
I′ve spent my life locked inside of this lonesome prison cell
The door was always open, though I stumbled through the dark
It took me way too long to let Jesus in my heart
They call me long haired hippie redneck Jesus
Well I ain't Jesus but I'm sure trying to be
They call me long haired hippie redneck Jesus
But I drink too much beer and smoke too much weed
My friends know I can get rowdy
And I′ve told few lies
I′ve my share of women
Lord they leave me high and dry
I tried to drink away my sorrows with a bottle of red wine
That barstool gets wobbly when it comes closing time
They call me long haired hippie redneck Jesus
Well I ain't Jesus but I′m sure trying to be
They call me long haired hippie redneck Jesus
But I drink too much beer and smoke too much weed
I spent my time trying to fill a hole the size of infinity
But finding love in Jesus was the only remedy
With Christ I was crucified
I gave myself to thee
Now it's no longer I who live
But Christ who lives in me
They call me long haired hippie redneck Jesus
Well I ain′t Jesus but I'm sure trying to be
They call me long haired hippie redneck Jesus
But I drink too much beer and smoke too much weed
I′m lowdown dirty sinner
My heart is made of stone
Samson killed a thousand men with an ole jawbone
I've boasted and I've lusted for my sins I cannot atone
Through the Lord′s forgiveness he′s gonna take me home
They call me long haired hippie redneck Jesus
Well I ain't Jesus but I′m sure trying to be
They call me long haired hippie redneck Jesus
I came as I was and he set me free
