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
+
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
+
