lyrics

We spotted Christ the Lord
Running down the road
On a ‘97 Silverado
With the Sons of Thunder
Running close behind
On them 18 wheels
Keeping pace in time

With a flame in His eye
And a nail in His hand
Runnin straight into the heart
Of the Promised Land
Damn the Man with the fellas
At the roadside stand
Jesus is the friend of the working man
Jesus is the friend of the working man

Simon Peter said to James and John
“Come on. It’s time we start a brand new band.
‘Cause we’ve been clockin’ in and out
And barely hangin on.
Maybe we spring for The Brand New Man”

Who’s got a flame in His eye
And a spear in His side
Drag your burden to the cross
At the county line
Scrawling praise on the wall
‘Round the throne on high
Jesus is the friend of the working guy
Jesus is the friend of the working guy

I heard He’ll build His church
on rock n roll (on No Show Jones)
We heard him on the FM Radio
Sweet and Low

Jesus is the friend of the working man
Jesus is the friend of the working man
Jesus is the friend of the working man
Jesus is the singer in a weekend band

With a flame in His eye
And a sword for a tongue
Move the burden of the stone
For the chosen ones
Hard hat for a diadem
Jesus is the friend of the working man
Jesus is the friend of the working man
Jesus is the friend of the working man
Jesus is ascending to the working van
Jesus is a friend of the working man
Jesus is ascending to the working van
Jesus is the friend of the working man
Jesus is ascending with The Working Man
