A boy gets a guitar and starts writing songs About whiskey and women and getting too stoned He got all three at the first show he played Hometown said, "I don´t think Jesus done it that way"
Boy moves to city lives fast and goes hard Starts chasing the devil through honky-tonk bars Ignoring the voices in his head that say, "I don´t think Jesus done it this way"
If I was Him I´d say, "To hell with you, ain´t no helping you” Find someone else to give Heaven to, I´m telling you” I´d shame me, I´d blame me I´d make me pay for my mistakes Oh, but I don´t think Jesus does it that way
Boy´s all alone, got no one to turn to He figures he´ll pray ´cause what else could he do? He said, "I wish You would´ve woke me up an easier way"
But I don´t think Jesus does it that way
If I was Him I´d say, "To hell with you, ain´t no helping you” Find someone else to give Heaven to, I´m telling you” I´d shame me, I´d blame me I´d make me pay for my mistakes But I don´t think Jesus does it that way
World likes to rear back and throw a few stones So boy wants to throw a few stones of his own But Lord knows I ain´t perfect, and it ain´t my place And I don´t think Jesus done it that way Are y´all sure that Jesus done it that way?
