Dashboard Jesus

There's a dashboard Jesus
Thunderbird 72
Polished wheels, big chrome bumpers
Leather seats, headrests too
Cruisin' down the Ajo highway
Fahrenheit 102
Tossin' out the empty bottles
Of cheap and watered down brew
Waving guns out of the windows
Shootin' saguaros thru and thru
Dashboard Jesus
Thunderbird 72

One more shrine out by the highway
Plastic flowers by the score
Tiny photos, seven day candles
Scattered 'round the desert floor
Several years have gone by now
Yet the memories seem new
Dashboard Jesus
Thunderbird 72
