Boy gets a guitar and
starts writin' songs
'Bout whiskey and women and
gettin' 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 chasin' the devil through
honky-tonk bars
Ignorin' the voices in
his head that say
I don't think Jesus
done it this way
If I was Him
I'd say to **** with you
Ain't no helpin' you
Find someone else to give
Heaven to
I'm tellin' 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
Boy's all alone
Got no one to turn to
He figures he'll pray
'Cause what else could he do
He says 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 **** with you
Ain't no helpin' you
Find someone else to give
Heaven to
I'm tellin' 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
