[Verse 1]
Bbm Gb
Paint your truck tread with some red dust
Ab Db
While you kick up the long way home
Bbm Gb
Share some bootleg with your best buds
Ab Db
Wear a bit of that bonfire smoke
Bbm Gb
If a back porch swing and twang in your words
Ab Db
And settin' that hook was a Good Book verse
Bbm Gb
I'd be doin' alright
Ab Db/Ab Ab
I'd know where I's goin' when I get to the other side 'cause
[Pre-Chorus]
Db Gb
Backroads and cold beer
Ab Bbm
Are my downhome prayer
Db Gb
Can't get no closer
Ab Bbm
To the Man upstairs
Db Gb
Than way out there, where the river runs
Ab Bbm Db Gb
Lord knows I'd be one hell of a disciple

If bein' country was in the Bible

If "John Deere Green" was threesixteen

And old barstools were back pew seats

These Friday nights would all just seem like Sunday mornin'

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

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

Lord knows I'd be one hell of a disciple
If bein' country was in the Bible

If bein' country was in the Bible
Hallelujah, amen
Heaven blessed this life I live
Hallelujah, amen, amen
