Hayes Carll - "She Left Me For Jesus"

[discofishing]

This guy do this song at the end of the tour when his voice is all worn out? He can make jabs at Jesus all he wants, won't change my faith, but maybe he should take some vocal lessons or not play the guitar while stoned/drunk.

[81lemme81]

@discofishing HAIL SATAN!!!!!!!!!!!!! You religious fanatics are fucking delusional morons. ....

[discofishing]

@81lemme81 Did I tell you what my faith was? No! How do you even know I'm religious? I'm just commenting on this guy's music because a friend posted this on FB. He isn't that great. What makes me delusional?

[81lemme81]

@discofishing Yes you did. You said, "he can takes jabs at Jesus all he wants, won't change my faith." The larger point here is that this shit is funny, but there are always those dumb ass mouth-breathers, like you, who just HAVE to put in their two negative cents on fucking everything. Dylan sucks at singing, harmonica, and isn't very good guitar player. But people like him cause he makes a good song. Get it? Just shut the fuck up if you only know how to be negative.

[DivineSinners]

LOL - GREAT SONG GUYS!

[glencabana]

What about Einstein? The "Jesus" of theoretical math.

[MrChrisgist]

from what i've heard about Jesus...I do't think he's scared

[Alexberryscarylovee]

The lyrics were nice :)

[NancyinColorado]

I feel sorry for those with no sense of humor. Hilarious song, and I know Christians that would find it funny too. : P

[rainbowzebreh]

Uh no. Its about a girl becoming religious and doesn't want any romance anymore. He doesnt think jesus is a real person. Its called sarcasm

[DrDanJet]

Love the song, but it seems most reviewers don't get it. The character singing, a really dumb redneck, actually thinks that the "Jesus" his girl has taken up with is a real guy, and even worse, is probably a Mexican. Check the last few lines. Hilarious.

It isn't anti-Jesus, it's anti-stupid.

[zoomustard]

@DrDanJet You are correct.  But to understand the people who take offence, Google: Idiot America

[msmiller1978]

This poor guy. Let us pray for him!!!!

[blahdeedahdee]

This guy is bordering on country music. Except he looks and sounds like a alcoholic redneck. And I love it.

[PSsalgal]

I love this guy.... waiting feb 11 KAYMAG YOYO

[PSsalgal]

I love this guy.. waiting for KAYMAG YOYO

[sockmonkey48]

[BadLieut17]

[myusernamesux321]

hahaha brilliant

[kpYak]

Here are the lyrics: We’ve been datin’ since high school, we never once left this town We used to go out on the weekends and we’d drink til we drowned But now shes acting funny and I don’t understand I think that she’s found her some other man (CHORUS) She left me for Jesus and that just ain’t fair She says that he’s perfect how could I compare She says I should find him and I’ll know peace at last If I ever find Jesus I’m kickin his ass

[kpYak]

@kpYak

She showed me a picture, all I could do was stare

At that freak in his sandals with his long pretty hair

They must think that I’m stupid or I dont have a clue

I bet he’s a commie or even worse yet a Jew (CHORUS)

She’s given up whiskey and taken’ up wine

While she prays for his troubles and’s forgot about mine

I’m a gonna get even I can’t handle the shame

Why last time we made love she even called out his name (CHORUS)

[kpYak]

@kpYak

It coulda been Carlos or even Billy or Ted

But if I ever find Jesus

He’s gonna wish he was dead

Amen.

[jonmorr777]

She couldn't have left him for a better man ! Jesus rocked my blues away !!

[mortimerstognasty]

They don't make jews like Jesus anymore.

[lumpagogo]

@mortimerstognasty

And we thought JC was gay, living with all those men 24/7. All along He

was going thru broadies like (walking on) water. Watch out, guys, JC is

after your broadie, too!

[anvilcity1]

Extremely clever, not blasphemous in the least. Great song!

[ravenme333]

Amen! LOL! Come on, have a sense of humor..Jesus would have/does.:)

[dorianmyrer21]

i hate this song

[AlexMickeyMichalik]

@dorianmyrer21 so don't listen to it, simple as hell

[andyhall33]

this song isnt talking about god or baby jesus, its about how his girl left him for a mexican named jesus which is pronounced hay-zeus. a common mexican name

[usmcpitboy]

uhhh

[KingCodimus]

@andyhall33 If you listen to the context, it is quite obvious what it is about.

[wbtheopin]

Religion is a Business you fools.

[phenixjo]

This is a humorous song, not a scholastic study on the divinity of Jesus Christ. Lighten up.

[usmcpitboy]

God is a scape goat for those that cant deal with reality.

[rodrigoship]

...and who can deal with reality?my friend

[crackmetheFup]

well well wellly well. pray for all the heathens that enjoy this song you bible thumpin joy killing idiots.

[jankoalex]

I'm a very religous person, and I love the song. Got nothing to do with our Lord though. Too smart for the american brainwashed christians...

[bulletbarrage]

I'm the pope and I approve this dope shit

[stoneofwonder]

i am very religous christian and i dont like this song at all you can give this comment a thumbs down all you want but i just dont care

[rdw246]

This is fantastic really.

[wazzuuuupproducksonZ]

turly amazing song, =D

[Beltje777]

What's with all the comments, this guy is great, and the song is truly hilarious!!! Lovin it!

[felixpetrar]

Maybe it is pronounced HESUS... but in this case be careful, he is not joking.

[dorianmyrer21]

i am a pious orthodox christian.I love Jesus very much

[stoneofwonder]

I am Christian aswell!

[dorianmyrer21]

I don't like this song. But I understand Hayes Carl didn't want to blaspheme:

"the problem with irony is that not everybody gets it." (Hayes) The devil used him as a tool to blaspheme God (devils aren't allowed to blaspheme God so they use humans for that)

[BRtankbuster]

Haha, that's funny

[dannyrosadomusic]

@dorianmyrer21 

[dannyrosadomusic]

@dorianmyrer21 Who gives a shit...

[dorianmyrer21]

@dannyrosadomusic I have assisted to exorcisms in eastern orthodox christian monasteries and they feel 100% real

[zoomustard]

@dorianmyrer21 Really? watch?v=qOgT9Ifw6Io

[lordushi]

does anyone else notice the hideously anti-semitic comment at 1:30 ??

[Katgal98]

It's satire.

[j0shle0]

Jesus was the King of the Jews... it's irony.....

[Randomgrrl07]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH REALLY NOW!

His woman left him But not for Bubba, for Jesus! And now Carlls gonna kick J.C.s ass. Blasphemous? Sure. But funny. Very funny.

[imwaatching]

[seanpatrick70]
