I saw Jesus at McDonald's at midnight.
[E] Said he wasn't doing all [A] right.
Said he didn't feel so fine, fine, [A] fine.
[E] Said his bite, bite, bite, just loses [A] his mind.
[E] I saw Mama humpin' [A] Santa [E] Claus.
She said it was because of menopause.
That's why she had to have a [A] Rudolph too.
[E] You know your mama, mama loves you.
Yeah, let's go.
[A] Yeah, [E] just like Mr.
[A] Ray said.
[E] I'm from Carolina.
[A]
[E] [A]
[Em] I'm in love with a lady [A] wrestler.
[Em] You know them snakehead women do it better.
She got me in a 54 [A]
facelock.
[E] I said, baby, baby, [A] just don't talk.
[E] I touched myself late last [A]
night.
[E] Lying in bed next to my [A] wife.
[E] She got up, she got up, she got up, she started to run.
Said she could, could not watch me come.
I'm coming later.
I'm coming home.
[A]
[E] Yeah.
[A]
[E] [A]
[Em] [E] I saw Alan Arby's.
I saw Moses at [A]
[E] McDonald's.
I saw the Ramalama from Alabama at the barbecue pit on University.
I saw [Em] Buddha at a Burger King.
[E] I saw Joey at a Jack in the [A] Box.
[E] I just, just, just, just, just, just can't stop, yeah.
I saw Mother Mary at a Roberto's on alcohol.
[A] [E] Man, I'm in a [Em] twilight.
So, so, so, so.
[A] [Em] [E] And there I was.
I woke up and I was kind of standing.
I was kind of someplace out where the, out where the interstates turn to dirt.
Out past the fire roads.
Out past Route 140.
Down, down where the train trestles go over the graveyard.
Back behind the dynamo at the side of Route 140.
Yeah, I'm still out by Otahe Lakes Road.
[Em]
Underneath [E] the water tower, I got a [A] thousand wah, wah, [E] wah, wah, wah, wah, [E] power.
Yeah, [Em] I'm feeling fine.
And Jesus walked up to me and he says, Mojo?
Mojo, I'm going to take you to someplace you need to be.
And I said, take me, Jesus.
Jesus [N] took me.
[E] There we were.
I looked around.
I looked around, and all I saw was couches.
Everywhere I looked, I saw couches.
Not the kind you want to sit on, but the kind you want to sleep
on, you know?
And there was like these bonfires and big cauldrons
on top of them with generic yellow label, top ramen,
just boiling away.
Boiling [E] away, away, away.
It was going everywhere.
And the trees had these kind of beer taps on them.
And out of it was coming this strange mixture of food,
barn, gin, and Mountain [Em] Dew.
[A] And I said, I [E] love, love, love, love, love, love you.
[A] Oh, yeah.
I was feeling so fine, so fine.
I'm about to go out of my mind.
I saw the entire Robert Johnson, John Lee, Hooker, Muddy Waters
record collection [E] stretched before me
in a brand new stereo.
I got 1,000 watts of power.
I got a new car.
It's got a second gear.
And I'm feeling fine.
I ain't got to work no day job no more,
because that's not my life.
That's not my wife.
I'm going to cut it out [Em] with a [A] knife.
[E] So I asked Jesus, I said, man, like, where am I?
Jesus kind of scratched his chin.
And he hadn't shaved in a while.
And he said, mojo?
Mojo?
I said, am I at the Big Rock Candy Mountain?
He said, no.
I said, am I in paradise?
He said, no.
I said, is this like the upstairs, you know, heaven?
He said, no.
[E]
Jesus looked up in the sky.
And there was a big white thing up in the sky.
And there were these kind of lines going across.
And the hair on the back of my neck stood up.
And Jesus said, I feel fine, because, because,
because I'm down [A] by the power [Em] line.
That's why I feel so [E]
fine.
[E] That's why I'm going my mind.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I said, I'm down, down, down, [A] down, down by the power [B] line.
I feel so, feel so, feel so, feel so [E] down by the power line.
I [A] feel, feel, feel so [B] fine.
Ain't that right, [E] skid?
Oh, yeah.
I said, I'm down [A]
by the power [E] line.
I'm in too well [E] or right, OK?
[A]
It's just a simple mind.
I come in and I'm going in [A] and I'm going up.
And I'm going to [E] hit a mountain down, down, down
by the [E] power line.
[A]
[E] [A]
[E] Let's go, skid.
[A] Oh, yeah.
Oh, oh, here we go, boys.
