Chorus

Intro

(Verse 1)

Jesus rides the subway

With the junkies and the freaks

Jesus rides the subway

With the hustlers and the creeps

He rubs shoulders with the thieves

And he looks a lot like everyone he sees

Jesus rides the subway

While the pretty people sleep and he says

(Chorus)

You can lay your burden down

You can lay your burden down

Oh, maybe youve been kicked around

But you can lay your burden down

(Verse 2)

Jesus strolls the sidewalks

On the wrong side of the tracks

Jesus strolls the sidewalks

That poverty attacks

He makes his home among the shacks

Where the fatherless have fallen through the cracks

Jesus strolls the sidewalks

While the righteous turn their backs and he says

(Chorus)

You can lay your burden down

You can lay your burden down

Oh, maybe youve been kicked around

But you can lay your burden down

(Verse 3)

Jesus went to church on Sunday

Sat in the back and sang the hymns

Jesus went to church on Sunday

But they didn't recognize him and he said

(Chorus)

You can lay your burden down

You can lay your burden down


Oh, maybe youve been kicked around

But you can lay your burden down
