Standard (EADGBE)
He Came to town on an old freight train,
He jumped off in the pouring rain.
Everybody said he's insane,
Just a low down no account hobo.
He make his bed beneath the country bridge,
The city folks said hey that's not his.
They signed a petition they're gonna get rid,
Of that low down, no count white trash.
Chorus
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,
Oh what if Jesus comes back like that.

Vs.2
She was born into drug abuse,
she couldn't help what her mamma used.
It wasn't like she got to choose,
Now she's layin' there all alone.
Got a monkey on her back,
nurses sat they never saw a smile like that.
Doctor says she might stand a chance,
if somebody takes her home.
Chorus 2
What if Jesus comes back like that,
two months early 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.
Bridge
Nobody said life is fair,
we've all got a cross to bear.
When it gets a little hard to care,
just think about him hanging there.
Vs.3
He came to town on a cold dark night
a single star his only light.
The baby born that silent night,
a manger for his bed.
Chorus 3
What if Jesus comes back like that,
where will he find our hearts are at.
Will he let us in or turn his back.
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.
What if Jesus comes back like that.
Hey what if Jesus comes back like that.
