On My Way Down (I Saw Jesus, Part 3)

I saw Jesus on my way down

He was headed off to Glory

I was headed out of town

He said that I should call him

if I came back around

I saw Jesus on my way down

I saw Jesus on my way down

I was coming back from Judgement 

where I never made a sound

They wanted pleas for mercy

but I ain't that kind of clown

I saw Jesus on my way down

He stood there real quiet

He never made a move

I told him if I gotta go

I'm gonna take my groove

Shuffle down the road

Hold my head up high

'Cause it's much too late to worry

Ain't no sense to cry

I saw Jesus on The Judgement Day

He wished that he could help me

but I had a price to pay

I told him not to worry 

'cause I had a lovely stay

I saw Jesus on The Judgement Day

He looked me in the eyes

Gave me that sad frown

He was sad to see me go

but I couldn't stick around

I really wasn't worried 

'cause as far as I could tell

they were wearing horns in heaven

and halos down in hell

I saw Jesus on my way down

He was headed off to Glory

I was headed out of town

He said that I should call him

if I came back around

I saw Jesus on my way down
