When Jesus left Birmingham All the disciples went crazy When Jesus left Birmingham All the people went completely nuts They all busted out on a wild night Riding high on a golden calf When Jesus left Birmingham All the people had themselves a big long laugh Well my girl she's a walker And she can talk herself out of any mess My girl she don't pray But she somehow seems still to be blessed When those crazy nights come a callin' Man she'll dance on the tables like all of the rest When my girl (When my girl) left Birmingham (left Birmingham) She was doing what she thought was best It's all free on the inside It's all free on the inside Save us right now we need you... We need you right now (it's all free on the inside) Inside gotta get inside... Inside down down down ...down up down down down...down up down down down ...down up down ... I see myself with a rosary I'm in a garden and I'm talking to myself I ain't sayin' much worth repeating Just askin' for forgiveness and all of his best When those crazy nights come a callin' Man I'm just as human as I can be When Jesus left Birmingham He left it there for you and me When Jesus left Birmingham He left it there for you and me So let it rock let it roll Let the Bible belt come and save my soul...

À propos de la chanson

La chanson évoque une période de désordre et d'excitation qui s'ensuit après le départ de Jésus de Birmingham. Les gens semblent perdre la tête, s'adonnant aux plaisirs de la vie et se moquant des valeurs spirituelles. Elle parle aussi d'une femme qui, bien qu'elle ne prie pas, vit comme si elle était bénie, s’amusant lors de nuits folles, tout en cherchant un sens à son existence. Au fil des rencontres nocturnes, l'auteur se retrouve à pleurer et demander pardon, réalisant qu'il est simplement humain et vulnérable. Il conclut en indiquant que, malgré le chaos, il y a une quête de rédemption et de paix intérieure, et que tout cela est lié à un besoin pressant d'aide divine.
