JC's A Good Ole Boy

Jesus is from the south of the United States
Or at least that’s where I hear his heart is these days
When we see him for the first time
His outstretched hands will be dangling with emeralds, rubies and sapphires
In his right ear lobe will be a 1/2 carat diamond earring and in his left
Well there will be no earring in his left lobe
But around his neck will be a diamond cross
Which would retail at J.C. Penney's for well over $4500.00
Around his waist will be a solid gold belt
And on the buckle will simply be the initials J.C.
           
From the characterizations I have heard of him
I suspect Jesus will be tone deaf, when it comes to the arts
Rather he will be a collector of Elvis memorabilia
A card-toting member of the NRA
And he will bowl Monday and Thursday nights
In two different leagues
He will be very soft around the middle from a lack of exercise
Not from the consumption of beer
His only vice will be the occasional glass of wine, for medicinal purposes

Jesus will drive an Eldorado with bull horns as the hood ornament
His front license plate will be a rebel flag
On his back bumper the confederate flag will appear again
And beside it will be the words, Heritage not Hate
The wonderful lord Jesus Christ will be partial to boiled peanuts from roadside stands
And my god, will he ever be able to put away the vittles
His favorite Sunday dinner will be crispy fried chicken
With black-eyed peas, creamed potatoes, corn bread and a glass of sweet ice tea

Jesus will have quit high school in the eleventh grade to help work in the fields
But he will have obtained his G.E.D. at night
He will not be the smartest as far as book sense
But he will be eat up with common sense
Give him a broke plough and he will have it back together and sharp as a razor within a few hours

Jesus will have the expected scars in his hands, head, feet and side
Where he had the run in with the Romans
But he will also have this mysterious scar across his cheek
That no one can ever remember hearing him talk about
Rumor being he got it in a knife fight at a night spot just outside Gethsemane

I suspect he will have absolutely no patience with anybody
Not willing to work hard for an honest wage
He will be registered a Democrat
But the last Democratic presidential candidate he will have voted for would be Jimmy Carter
Allowing how the Democrats have just "strayed too far from the scriptures"
 
Instead of sandals, he will have picked him up a nice pair of snake-skin boots at Sam's Wholesale Club
And hanging around his rear view mirror will be a St. Christopher medallion
And a pair of dice he got as a souvenir from a riverboat casino
In other words, you have probably already met him
If you live anywhere in the U.S. South
You just might not have known it was him
Cause Jesus is a good ole boy that likes to go along to get along

And the last thing he wants to do is bring attention to his self
