Biography

Terry Allen (born May 7, 1943) is an American singer-songwriter and visual artist from Lubbock, Texas. Allen's musical career spans several albums in the Texas country and outlaw country genres, and his visual art includes painting, conceptual art, performance, and sculpture, with a number of notable bronze sculptures installed publicly in various cities throughout the United States. He currently lives in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Allen has recorded twelve albums of original songs, including the landmark releases Juarez (1975) and Lubbock (On Everything) (1979). His song "Amarillo Highway" has been covered by Bobby Bare, Sturgill Simpson, Robert Earl Keen and The Amos Garrett/Doug Sahm/Gene Taylor Band. Other artists who have recorded Allen's songs include Guy Clark, Little Feat, David Byrne, Doug Sahm, Ricky Nelson, and Lucinda Williams. Rolling Stone magazine describes his catalog, reaching back to Juarez as "..uniformly eccentric and uncompromising, savage and beautiful, literate and guttural." Allen also works with a wide variety of media including musical and theatrical performances, sculpture, painting, drawing and video, and installations which incorporate any and all of these media. His work has been shown throughout the United States and internationally.

LYRICS

When Jesus saves the world
Where will you be?
Out on the lonesome plains o Texas
Or the shores of the Galilee
When Jesus Saves the World
Which he will surely do
It don't matter where you are
He's gonna bring his wrath on you
Ah-um Mississippi Ah-um Alabama
Ah-um Louisiana Ah-um Nashville
Tennessee
When Jesus Saves the world
And tallies up the toll
For ever one he sends to Glory
Be a billion burn below
When Jesus Saves the world
He'll be looking right straight at you
An ever sin you ever did
Gonna stick out clear and true
Ah-um Carolinas Ah-um Atlanta Georgia
Ah-um Miami Florida Ah-um New Orleans
When Jesus Saves the world
You're either on or off the track
There ain't no reincarnation
You won't be commin back
When Jesus Saves the world
Your loved ones will be gone
You'll have to face his awful judgment
Stark naked all alone
Ah-um Oh Virginia Ah-um Oklahoma
Ah-um Arkansas Ah-um Abilene
When Jesus Saves the world
All time will stop with sin
And nothin will be mysterious
It'll all just be The End
When Jesus Saves the world
He will kill it too
And the righteous will rise to Glory
What a comfort to me and you
Ah-um
