I saw Jesus on a sale rack at the Walmart today On a flag covered T-shirt kneeled down to pray

So $8.95 I guess somebody gave

To be sure when they died their soul would be saved

My cousin Johnny he played high school ball

When the Towers came down he signed up for the cause He was fighting for his freedom when an oil field bomb

Took both of his legs and his buddy named Juan

Johnny came home in the back of a plane

With one flag covered box and two pills for the pain

We laid Juan in a canyon by a cottonwood tree

While Johnny wondered if freedom was really cheap gasoline

Then I saw my aunt Mary down by the Walgreens At the corner of St Commerce and Trinity Street Outside on the wall Johnny spray painted in red

“I guess Jesus can’t save when there’s profits at risk”

So Johnny died in the alley back behind the VA

Against a crumbling wall with a hole in his vein He was fighting those demons we all employed Forgetting that vengeance belongs to the Lord

Won’t you come down and save me Saint Dismas?

I don’t know who else to call

You’re the only one he said for certain would make it up to Paradise Hall

So many times it seems like the truth still is denied

Won’t you come down and save me Saint Dismas, it seems like the old roosters done died

Yeah, I saw Jesus on a sale rack at the Walmart today
