That boy had the highest of expectations   And he heard that Jesus would fill him up   Maybe something got lost in the language   If this was full, then why bother?      This was not the way it looked on the billboard   Smiling family beaming down on the interstate      You know that we all try to blame someone   But our dreams won’t rise up from their sleep   And the reaching of the steeple felt like one more   Expensive ad for something cheap      This was not the way it looked on the billboard   Smiling family beaming down on the interstate      Dressed up nice for the congregation   Scared somebody’s gonna find him out   Through the din and the clatter of the hallelujahs   A stained glass Jesus sings      This was not the way it looked on the billboard   Smiling family beaming down on the interstate
