lyrics

My foot is on the pedal
Arizona's in the distance
My wife is right beside me
And her tears have finally dried
The kids are in the backseat
Staring out the window
I pulled them out of school
To come along for the ride

The headlines will be breaking
So I turn off the radio
The entire car is quiet
They know that I've done wrong
And though Psalms says that
The righteous will be tested
Well I just cannot see
Where all this evil's coming from

Chorus:
'Cos I'm a Christian kid
Everybody says so
I'm a Christian kid
My daddy told me so
I'm a Christian kid
And the devil's got my number
But as soon as I shake him
Well I will be coming back home

Eight hundred miles
From Colorado Springs
New house, new home
New church, new life
And I am ready for
All this healing to begin
Because I'm steady with my wife
Oh yes I'm faithful to my wife

And I will offer guidance
And Gayle will go back to college
And the kids will all forget
The "massage that went awry"
'Cos three weeks of
Intensive Christian counselling
Has helped me to embrace
My heterosexual side

Chorus

And when I get off this carnival ride
I will return my tail between my legs to my father's side
From the moment of conception until this very day
I've been my father's son and my father's son I'm gonna stay
