Goodbye and I'll go far
I said, with my plastic Jesus

He just keeps His eye on me
Women know I'm on the level
And any other thing that lies behind
And if I weave around at night
And my travels through the nation

Through my trials and tribulations
I've got the love of the whole damn family

I can let all my curses roll
When I'm in a traffic jam

'Cause plastic Jesus shelters me

Whoa
Policemen think I'm very tired
They never find my bottle

I feel that I'm protected amply
With my plastic Jesus
With my plastic Jesus
Save me

He's hollow and I use him like a flask
I don't care if it's dark or scary
I said, with my plastic Jesus

Sitting on the dashboard of my car
Goodbye and I'll go far
Long as I got magnetic Mary
With my plastic Jesus I'll go far

With a nose up in the air
I said, “Goodbye and I'll go far”
For His head comes off you see
Thanks to the wide-eyed stoneware devil
Sneerin' from the dashboard of my car
Though they ask
Ridin' on the dashboard of my car

Trouble comin' He don't see
Sitting on the dashboard of my car
Ridin' down the thoroughfare
The man who invented plastic saved my soul
With my plastic Jesus
Sittin' on the dashboard of my car
And I said, with my plastic Jesus
When I'm goin' fornicatin', I've got my ceramic Satan
Ridin' on the dashboard of my car
He don't care if I say damn
A wreck may be ahead but He don't mind
I said sitting on the dashboard of my car
'Cause He has a plastic ear
'Cause Jesus plastico doesn't hear
Ridin' on the dashboard of my car
