Jesus Was A Country Boy

I stumbled on a preacher Sunday mornin'

All decked out and made up for TV

Askin' for some money from God's people

Talkin' all that high theology

Well I might be just an old blue collar

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

'Cause Jesus was a country boy

Walkin' down a dirt road, with everything that he owned

He never met a stanger

Born in a barn underneath the stars

His momma laid 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

My daddy never cared much for religion

And my momma worried a lot about his soul

She'd 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 momma so

I never doubted he'd make it to heaven

'Cause it ain't who you are

It's who you know

And daddy knew

That Jesus was a country boy

Walkin' down a dirt road, with everything that he owned

He never met a stanger

Born in a barn underneath the stars

His momma laid 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
