[Verse 1]
D A G D A G
I stumbled on a preacher Sunday morning, All decked out and made up on TV,
Em7 G A G A
Asking for some money from God's people, Talking all that high theology,
D A G D A G
Well I might be just an old blue collar, And there's things about the Lord that I don't know,
Em7 G A G A
But I bet he never had a million dollars, Or wore a lot of stylish fancy clothes.
N.C.
[Chorus]
G
'Cause Jesus was a country boy,
D
Walking down a dirt road with everything that he owned, He never met a stranger,
G D
Born in a barn underneath the stars, His Mama laid him in a manger,
A G
Swimming in the river, Fishing for his dinner, Living with the sinners like me . . .
D A G A D
Makes, Me, Think, Jesus was a country boy.
[Verse 2]
D A G D A G
My Daddy never cared much for religion, And my Mama worried a lot about his soul,
Em7 G A G A
She'd hit her knees and pray for him on Sunday, While Daddy hit his favorite fishing hole,
D A G D A G
You see Daddy was a rebel and a rambler, But I always knew he loved my Mama so,
Em7 G A G A
I never doubted he'd make it to heaven, 'Cause it ain't who you are it's who you know.
N.C.
' And Daddy knew '
[Chorus]
G
That Jesus was a country boy,
D
Walking down a dirt road with everything that he owned, He never met a stranger,
G D
Born in a barn underneath the stars, His Mama laid him in a manger,
A G
Swimming in the river, fishing for his dinner, Living with the sinners like me . . .
D A G A D
Makes, Me, Think, Jesus was a country boy.
[Outro]
D A G A D
Oh yes and I be lieve . . . . That Jesus was a country boy.
