He jumped off in the puring rain
 Everybody says he's insane
 Just a low down account hobo

 He made his bed beneath the county bridge
 The town folks said that's not his
 They signed a petition they're gonna get rid
 Of that white trash low down no count

 What if Jesus comes back like that
 On an old freight train in a hobo hat
 Will we let him in or turn our back
 What if Jesus comes back like that
 Hey what if Jesus comes back like that

 Born with a habit of drug abuse
 She couldn't help what her mama used
 It wasn't like she got to choose
 Now she's layin' there all alone

 Got a monkey on her back
 Nurses say they never saw a smile like that
 Doctor says she might stand a chance
 If somebody takes her home

 What if Jesus comes back like that
 Two months early and hooked on crack
 Will we let him in or turn our back
 What if Jesus comes back like that
 Oh what if Jesus comes back like that

 Nobody said life is fair
 We've all got a cross to bear
 When it gets a little hard to care
 Just think of Jesus hanging there

 He came to town on a cold dark night
 A single star was his only light
 The baby born that silent night
 A manger for his bed

 What if Jesus comes back like that
 Where will he find out hearts are at
 Will he let us in or turn his back
 Hey what if Jesus comes back like that
 Yeh what if Jesus comes back like that
 Will he cry when he sees where our hearts are at
 Will he let us in or turn his back
 Hey what if Jesus comes back like that
 Oh what if Jesus comes back like that
