[Verse 1]
Our Father, high in heaven
Smile down upon your son, yeah
He's busy with his money games
His women and his gun
[Chorus]
Oh, Jesus, save me!
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 2]
And the unsung Western hero
He killed an Indian or three, yeah
And then he made his name in Hollywood
To set the White man free, free
[Chorus]
Oh, Jesus, save me!
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge]
If Jesus saves
Well, He'd better save Himself
From the gory glory seekers
Who use His name in death
Our Father, high in heaven
Smile down upon your son, yeah
He's busy with his money games
His women and his gun
[Chorus]
Oh, Jesus, save me!
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 2]
And the unsung Western hero
He killed an Indian or three, yeah
And then he made his name in Hollywood
To set the White man free, free
[Chorus]
Oh, Jesus, save me!
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge]
If Jesus saves
Well, He'd better save Himself
From the gory glory seekers
Who use His name in death
