Paint your truck tread with some red dust

While you kick up the long way home

Share some bootleg with your best buds

Wear a bit of that bonfire smoke

If a back porch swing and twang in your words

And settin' that hook was a Good Book verse

I'd be doin' alright

I'd know where I's goin'

when I get to the other side 'cause

Backroads and cold beer are my down-home prayer

Can't get no closer to the Man upstairs

Than way out there, where the river runs

Lord knows I'd be one hell of a disciple

If bein' country was in the Bible

Hallelujah, amen

Heaven blessed this life I live

Hallelujah, amen, amen

If "John Deere Green" was 3: 16

And old barstools were back pew seats

These Friday nights would all just seem like Sunday mornin'

If them words in red

were a little more read this sinner'd be a saint instead

'Cause backroads and cold beer are my down-home prayer

Can't get no closer to the Man upstairs

Than way out there, where the river runs

Lord knows I'd be one hell of a disciple

If bein' country was in the Bible

Hallelujah, amen

Heaven blessed this life I live

Hallelujah, amen, amen

'Cause backroads and cold beer

Are my down-home prayer

We can't get no closer to God's grace, I swear

Than way out there, where the river runs

Lord knows I'd be one hell of a disciple

If bein' country was in the Bible

Hallelujah, amen

Heaven blessed this life I live

Hallelujah, amen, amen
