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 Christian folks say I should quit it I just smile and say, "God bless"
'Cause I heard Jesus, He drank wine 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 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 mine
I'll fly away from it all one day I'll fly away
These are the days that I will remember When my names called on a roll They'll meet me with two long stem glasses 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
