Couplet 1

Turned the radio on my drive today
Heard a whole lot of songs
'Bout a whole bunch of things
I knew all the words but I couldn't relate
'Cause my three chords and the truth is
I ain't no preacher and I ain't no judge
My straight and narrow's been a little bit rough
Ain't trying to Bible belt kill the buzz
'Cause God loves country music

Refrain

I've heard songs about Jack Daniel's
Songs about Jim Beam
Heard songs about one-night regrets
Neon and nicotine
I guess I'm just kinda fixed on
The only thing that's ever fixed me
That's why I sing songs about Jesus
Instead of singing songs about whiskey

Couplet 2

Like when Johnny Cash met Billy Graham
Went from raising hell to raising hands
That back pew brought me on back again
Praise God I saw the light
Now my last call is when He calls me home
My dead-end street is now a street of gold
They say sing about the things you know
And Heaven knows that's why

Refrain

I've heard songs about Jack Daniel's
Songs about Jim Beam
Heard songs about one-night regrets
Neon and nicotine
I guess I'm just kinda fixed on
The only thing that's ever fixed me
That's why I sing songs about Jesus
Instead of singing songs about whiskey
