West Bethlehem

lyrics

I’m better with words when I don’t have to say them
and I’m better with friends when they’re not around
One of these days I’ll crank up that engine
and never look back upon this shithole town

West Bethlehem, east of eden
where’s Jesus when you need him

My mother calls me after work every evening
never says nothing except the weather report
Most folks I can’t stand, especially my family
They’re as good as can be, but goddamn I’m bored

Here in West Bethlehem, east of Eden
Where’s Jesus when you need him

I applied for a job writing grants for the county
I never heard back, so I called them up
The clerk said she’d seen no such application
So I keep on driving this damn semi truck
just like my father
a damn semi truck

Straight out of West Bethlehem, east of Eden
Where’s Jesus when you need him?
