Nazareth

Jesus was born on the outskirts of town

But you never could tell if you looked at Him now

If every underdog becomes a god

When will my luck turn around?

'Cause I have traveled every highway from Phoenix to Maine

A thousand sanctuary doors shut in my face

I'm not asking for much, just a safe little space I can rest

Nazareth

I'm getting high in a church parking lot

Gotta work 'round the way, about seven o'clock

It's funny how the searching in the streetlights

Just leaves me wanting to be found

I have traveled every highway from Phoenix to Maine

A thousand sanctuary doors shut in my face

I'm not asking for much, just a safe little space I can rest

I dipped my feet in Hope, Alaska, I cut my teeth in Baton Rouge

I even swam out to the Jordan, they couldn't find me any room

I've got good friends out up in Heaven, but I'm too young to make that move

If there's no Nazareth on earth, then what's a child of God to do?

I have traveled every highway from Phoenix to Maine

A thousand sanctuary doors shut in my face

I'm not asking for much, just a safe little space, I can rest

Ooh, Nazareth
