I stumbled on a preacher Sunday Mornin'

All decked out and made up for T.V.

Askin' for some money from God's people

Talkin' all behind the Olive Gene

Well, I might be just an ol' blue collar

And there's things about the lord that I don't know

But I bet he never had a million dollars

Or wore a lot of stylish fancy clothes



Chorus

Cuz Jesus was a country boy

Livin' down a dirt road with everything that he owned

He never met a stranger

Born in a barn underneath the stars his mama layed him in a manger

Swimmin' in the river

Fishin' for his dinner

Livin' with the sinners like me

Makes me think that Jesus was a country boy

(Oh yes and I believe that Jesus was a country boy

2nd time only)



My daddy never cared much for religion

And my mama worried a lot about his soul

She's hit her knees and pray for him on Sunday

While daddy hit his favorite fishin' hole

You see daddy was a rebel and a rambler

But I always knew he loved my mama so

I never doubted he's make it to heaven

Cuz it's not who you are, it's who ya know

And daddy knew...



(chorus)
