Capo 2nd fret
Standard (EADGBE)
I don't care if it rains or freezes
as long as I've got my plastic Jesus
riding on the dashboard of my car
Through my trials and tribulations
and my travels through many nations
with my plastic Jesus I'll go far
Chorus
Plastic Jesus, Plastic Jesus
riding on the dashboard of my car
He won't slip, He won't slide
'Cause His feet are magnitized
riding on the dashboard of my car
Riding down a thoroughfare
With His nose up in the air
(a) wreck might be ahead but He don't mind
Trouble coming, He don't see
He just keeps his eyes on me
and any other thing that lies behind
Repeat Chorus (x2)
Plastic Jesus, Plastic Jesus
riding on the dashboard of my car
Though the sunshine on His back
Makes Him peel and chip and crack
a little patchin' keeps Him up to par
Plastic Jesus, Plastic Jesus
riding on the dashboard of my car
Once His robe was snowy white
Now it ain't quite so bright
Stained by the smoke of my cigar
If I weave around at night
and the po-lice think I'm tight
they never find my bottle though they ask
Plastic Jesus Shelters me
For His head comes off you see
He's hollow and I use Him for a flask
Repeat Chorus
Plastic Jesus, Plastic Jesus
riding on the dashboard of my car
Ride with me and have a dram
of the blood of the Lamb
Plastic Jesus is a holy bar
