God Looks Like Willie Nelson

After lying in the weeds by the side of the road
My conscience died a few years ago
Had a loss of direction with no reason to go back
So I settled in on the wrong side of the tracks
Met a woman who looked so damn pretty
Said she just moved down from New York City
She told me as we were committing mortal sin
She used to have a boyfriend who worshipped Sean Penn
She said a priest wearing a worn-out Stetson
Said God looks like Willie Nelson

I learned that love's a loss of comprehension
It comes on like a fever with complications
Whenever it leaves it's a fatal attack
A part of you is gone - You don't know how to act
I was told by a drifter sippin' on a bottle
That life ain't nothing less you're livin' full throttle
There's still a yellow rose in the heart of Texas
Be thankful there's still a difference in the sexs
In the Lone Star State, you find it all and then some
And God looks like Willie Nelson.

The center of heaven's on 6th Street in Austin
Look hard and you'll see the "Pearly Gates"
If you're a true believer you'll move to the head of the line
And you know Willie wouldn't make you wait

Moving in the shadows disciples of the devil
Signing up recruits to keep hell on the level
Bible thumpers on TV sell salvation honey
You got to realize they're in it for the money
You got to look for an exit on the Lost Highway
Life's not complicated unless you make it that way
Untrue love brings the shadow of a doubt
You can't live with what you can't live without
To find the right answer you've got to ask the right question
And God looks like Willie Nelson

The center of heaven's on 6th Street in Austin
Look hard and you'll see the "Pearly Gates"
If you're a true believer you'll move to the head of the line
And you know Willie wouldn't make you wait
And you know Willie wouldn't make you wait
