I stumbled on a preacher Sunday mornin'
All decked out and made up for T.V.
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 dont 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
And I never doubted he'd make it to heaven
'Cause it aint 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
