Jesus in LA lyrics

[Verse 1]

Well, I shook hands with the devil

Down on the south side

And he bought us both a drink

With a pad and a pencil, sat by his side

I said, "Tell me what you think"

[Pre-Chorus]

I've been looking for my savior

Looking for my truth

I even asked my shrink

He brought me down to his level

Said, "Son, you're not special

You won't find him where you think

[Chorus]

"You won't find him down on Sunset

Or at a party in the hills

At the bottom of the bottle

Or when you're tripping on some pills

When they sold you the dream, you were just 16

Packed a bag and ran away

And it's a crying shame you came all this way

'Cause you won't find Jesus in LA

And it's a crying shame you came all this way

'Cause you won't find Jesus in LA"

[Verse 2]

Took a sip of his whiskey

Said, "Now that you're with me

Well, I think that you should stay

Yeah, I know you've been busy

Searching through the city

So let me share the way

[Pre-Chorus]

"I know I'm not your savior

Know I'm not your truth

But I think we could be friends"

He said, "Come down to my level

Hang out with the devil

Let me tell you, in the end...

[Chorus]

"You won't find him down on sunset

Or at a party in the hills

At the bottom of the bottle

Or when you're tripping on some pills

When they sold you the dream, you were just 16

Packed a bag and ran away

And it's a crying shame you came all this way

'Cause you won't find Jesus in LA

And it's a crying shame you came all this way

'Cause you won't find Jesus in LA"

[Bridge]

And that is when I knew that it was time to go home

And that is when I realized that I was alone

And all the vibrant colors from the lights fade away

And I don't care what they say

[Chorus]

You won't find him down on sunset

Or at a party in the hills

At the bottom of the bottle

Or when you're tripping on some pills

When they sold you the dream, you were just 16

Packed a bag and ran away

And it's a crying shame you came all this way

'Cause you won't find Jesus in LA

I won't find him down on sunset

Or at a party in the hills

At the bottom of the bottle

Or when I'm tripping on some pills

When they sold me the dream, I was just 16

Packed my bag and ran away

And it's a crying shame I came all this way

'Cause I won't find Jesus in LA

And it's a crying shame I came all this way

'Cause I won't find Jesus in LA
