[Verse 1]
He`s got a cross on his neck, but he spends Sundays in my bed
He`s my blue jean little baby, with a halo on his head
He`s got lips like cherry wine, and cigarette smoke on his breath
He`s got pretty long brown hair, green eyes that look like sex

[Pre-Chorus]
Knees down at your altar
Please don`t fail me now

[Chorus]
You know all my secrets
American Jesus, baby
Won`t you take me to Heaven tonight?
You know you`re my weakness
American Jesus, save me
You`rе the greatest lovе of my life
American Jesus

[Verse 2]
Let`s drive off into the sunset, baby we can be reborn
Walk on water in the desert, make a saint out of a whore

[Pre-Chorus]
Knees down at your altar
My cowboy in the crown


[Chorus]
You know all my secrets
American Jesus, baby
Won`t you take me to Heaven tonight? (Tonight)
You know you`re my weakness
American Jesus, save me
You`re the greatest love of my life (My life)
American Jesus

[Post-Chorus]
You got me red, white, and blue
Pledging my allegiance to you
Tell me you believe in me too, "I do"
Ooh, seein` the stars in your eyes
No, I`ve never felt so alive
We can ride `til we die

[Chorus]
You know all my secrets
American Jesus, baby
Won`t you take me to Heaven tonight? (Tonight)
You know you`re my weakness
American Jesus, save me
You`re the greatest love of my life (My life)
American Jesus


[Post-Chorus]
You got me red, white, and blue
Pledging my allegiance to you
Tell me you believe in me too, "I do"
Ooh, seein` the stars in your eyes
No, I`ve never felt so alive
We can ride `til we die

[Outro]
Ah, ah-ah
Ah, ah-ah
Ah, ah-ah
My American Jesus
