lyrics

(nick hensley and joe carey)

there’s a barefoot prophet in my front yard

who can’t afford to lease the apartment upstairs

he can’t afford the rent

so i lent him the tent that my mom gave me when i was fourteen

it was for the boy scouts but they through me out

‘cause i had some doubts about god

maybe this guy’s my sign

turnin’ water into wine

is he pissin’ on my neighbors plants

this guy outside is pissin’ on my neighbor’s plants

ahh shit… i’ll blame the dog

chorus:

there’s a barefoot, drunken prophet

livin’ in a tent in my front yard

tellin’ every passer by

i’ll save your soul if you take my card

i watch their faces

they cop out, they’re just like me

but if this guy ain’t barry gibb

who else could this mo fo be

can you guess

who…………

there’s a barefoot prophet in my front yard

he’s handed out cards and selling sour pink lemonade

‘cause he still can’t afford the rent…

of the upstairs apartment

he spent every cent on pulltabs

at the neighborhood bar… that’s where all the sinners are

but the saints they hang out there too

maybe i’m losin’ my mind

but i think i just gotta sign

the virgin mary’s on my egg mcmuffin

there’s a virgin mary on my egg mcmuffin

cleatis i found jesus at macdonalds

well all right…

chorus:

there’s a barefoot, drunken prophet

livin’ in a tent in my front yard

tellin’ every passer by

i’ll save your soul if you take my card

i watch their faces

they cop out, they’re just like me

but if this guy ain’t john lennon’s ghost

who else could this mo fo be

can you guess

who…………
