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 The Christian folks say I should quit it I just smile and say "God bless" '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 Daddy cried when he saw my tattoo But 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 He'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
