Skynyrd from Black Owls by Black Owls

It's where they grow the tobacco - so they're okay with smoking
and if jesus came back down today - they'd offer that boy up a smoke
they'd say Jesus, we're sorry for sinning - but you know the north is still winning
and the rain hasn't fallen - oh jesus, can you open the sky?

And if it wasn't for Lynyrd Skynyrd - they'd all hate his long hair
jesus would be ever so nervous - as all the people stop and stare
& he's asking you for your grace - but you are not listening
jesus is in the hospital - he's watching evening news
he's outside of Benton - they're feeding him interveinously
and everyone is praying - but nothings getting done. No.

Can you do us a favor? can you open up your coffers?
can you pull out your catheters? Hey Jesus can you give me a light?
can you lift up our voices? can you settle our fights?
can you bail out our sins? Oh Jesus can you make it all right tonight?

it's where they grow the tobacco - so know they're okay with smoking
and if jesus came back down today - you know they'd offer that boy up a smoke
they'd say Jesue we're sorry for sinning - but you know the north is still winning
and the rain hasn't fallen - oh jesus christ can you open the sky?

Cigarettes and war, fundamental religions
they're all old fashioned, remnants all
they're no longer needed, no longer fashionable
no longer worshiped, & we're just waiting for them to fall.
