Lyrics |
Everything (the van song) ♫ I tried my hand at writing a happy song. My sister-in-law told me once that my songs always made her cry. Well she cried when I sang this one for her too. Back to the drawing board…
Look at my face, look at this smile Look at these clothes, I’ve had them since the day that they went out of style Look at my car, rusty and brown There’s nothing new under my sun, but I won’t let that get me down ‘Cause I’ve got Jesus, and I know He loves me, and that means everything!
Call me a loser, call me a fool I know it’s no big secret that I’m miles away from cool But I’ve got Jesus and I know He loves me and that means everything!
Look at my face, look at this smile Look at my house, the roof needs shingles, it’s been leaking for a while Look in my pockets, look at my bank account I’m just barely squeaking by, but I don’t need a huge amount ‘Cause I’ve got Jesus, and I know He loves me, and that means everything!
Call me a failure, call me a clown You’re entitled to your opinion, but your opinions will not get me down ‘Cause I’ve got Jesus, and I know He loves me, and that means everything!
And where I’m going, I won’t need money And I won’t need my rusty, noisy, dirty, eighty-eight Dodge Caravan My roof won’t leak, my doors won’t squeak My paint won’t peel, (talk about a deal) no money down, no payment plan! I’m getting new clothes, I’m gonna be in style Just look at me and you will see, I’ll have an even bigger smile ‘Cause I’ll see Jesus, and I know He loves me, and that means everything! |
