She Left Me For Jesus
Carll Hayes is a Houston musician who spent a few years kicking around Crystal Beach in Texas and playing the bars, honing his songwriting and performances. He's also the kind of artist that makes me excited about, and gives me hope for country music again. Key lyrics in the chorus:
She left me for Jesus and that just ain’t fair
She says that he’s perfect how could I compare
She says I should find him and I’ll know peace at last
If I ever find Jesus, I’m kickin’ his ass
Heheh... Enjoy.

Crystal Beach.
Crystal Beach on Bolivar is way cool. Quickest way to get there involves a free ferry ride from Galveston to Bolivar.
I used to go to the Brazoria beaches to avoid the Galveston crowds. Brazoria has passed (Ron Paul territory) an anti-topfree law. Standard State law is that public exposuer of a woman's breasts except when itended as part of a lewd display is not indecent. Brazoria Co felt some reason to change this.
Guess yall gotta go to East or West on Galveston, or Crystal Beach if those puppies are gunna get some sun.
PS: Make sure you have at least half a tank of gas before going to Bolivar. Only a couple of places in Crystal Beach have gas and it's very expensive. Gas up before you leave Houston. Down on the coast they will rob you blind.
Available on iTunes
I just picked up the studio version of the song on iTunes. It's a more upbeat rendition.
That song is helping recover from spending the better part of a week working on a Christian country album whose lyrics just about made me puke. Fortunately the music tracks were pretty good so I could distract myself with them.
Hey... wait a minute!
Hey! Wait just a cotton pickin' minute here.
*I'm* a musician (well, amateur anyway), living in Houston, and *my* girlfriend left me for Jesus too, telling me (I'm really not kidding about this part) "I could never love you as much as I love Jesus."
That Jesus bastard is a son-of-a-lying-virgin-my-ass-bitch, and he's two-timing both our ex-girlfriends!
that's great!
Thanx for sharing Brent. RBH...I concur, that's the take home line!

Speaking as an unrepentant
Speaking as an unrepentant music snob who hates most country music with an unhealthy passion, all I can say is "Brilliant!" It's nice to see a sense of humor in country music that doesn't rely on jingoism and good ol' boy bullshit.
The comics on the old Exit 57 sketch comedy show did a similar song once, about Jesus stealing a guy's wife. My favorite version of the idea is still the song "Grim" by an Ohio based group called Ass Ponies.
In my teens and twenties I managed to lose two girlfriends to Jesus, and had to nip a third budding relationship myself because I couldn't get down with her family's Christian Science lunacy. It's about time somebody kicked that guy's ass!
For a country tune...
that really rocks :)
The best line ...
"I'll bet he's a commie,
or even worse yet, a Jew."
