I ain`t the kind you take home to mama
I ain`t the kind to wear no ring
Somehow i always get stronger

When i`m on my second drink

Even though i hate to admit it

Sometimes i smoke cigarettes
The christian folks say i should quit it
And i just smile and say "God Bless"


'Cause i heard Jesus he drank wine
And i bet we`d get along just fine

He could calm a storm and heal the blind
And i bet He`d understand a heart like mine


Daddy cried when he saw my tattoo
But said he loved me anyway
My brother got the brains of the family

So i thought i`d learn to sing

'Cause i heard Jesus he drank wine

And i bet we`d get along just fine
He could calm a storm and heal the blind
And i bet He`d understand a heart like


I`ll fly away from it all one day
And i`ll fly i`ll fly away

But these are the days that will remember
When my names called on a roll
He`ll meet me with two long stem glasses

And make a toast to me coming home

'Cause i heard Jesus he drank wine

And i bet we`d get along just fine
He could calm a storm and heal the blind
And i bet He`d understand

Understand a heart like mine
Oh yes He would
