Yeah my wooden Jesus forgives me
I'm a sinner that's why I believe
In my wooden Jesus

Say a prayer to start my day
Maybe the big man will show me the way
A money maker down in east L.A.

Why he forgives me, God only knows
'Cause he's a wooden Jesus
Wooden Jesus yeah, wooden Jesus, oh yeah

Take me down the road to salvation
Help me Jesus, try to find my way
Send me a revelation
