Honky Tonk Jesus

Somethin' about that Sunday feelin'
Somethin' about those church bells ringing
Hear the choir singin', hands raisin', foot stomping, everybody clapping to the beat

You might meet him as a bedside Baptist
Con los santos in a church that's Catholic
At your nana's house, home cookin' in the kitchen, livin' lovin' with the family

Some go to down the A—frame
Some roll into the bar
It don't matter where you end up
I think he'll meet you where you are

There'd be no I'll Fly Away without Elvis and Hank
No jukebox or steel guitars without a little twang
There'd be no heaven here on earth
Full of barstools and chairs
If there was no honky tonk Jesus up there
If there was no honky tonk Jesus up there

I ain't saying he's in a rhinestone robe
Coming outta tootsies in a cloud of smoke
Maybe he's at a party turning water into wine
For a good time

Some might live in a mansion
Some don't get too far
It don't matter where you end up
I think he'll meet you where you are

There'd be no I'll Fly Away without Elvis and Hank
No jukebox or steel guitars without a little twang
There'd be no heaven here on earth
Full of barstools and chairs
If there was no honky tonk Jesus up there
If there was no honky tonk Jesus up there

There's gotta be, gotta be, gotta be a Honky Tonk Jesus
Gotta be, gotta be, gotta be somewhere up there somewhere
Gotta be, gotta be, gotta be a Honky Tonk Jesus
A Honky Tonk Jesus up there

There'd be no I'll Fly Away without Elvis and Hank
No jukebox or steel guitars without a little twang
There'd be no heaven here on earth
Full of barstools and chairs
If there was no honky tonk Jesus up there
If there was no honky tonk Jesus up there
If there was no honky tonk Jesus up there
