"Songs About Whiskey" lyrics

"Songs About Whiskey"

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

I've heard songs about Jack Daniels
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

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

I've heard songs about Jack Daniels
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

I've heard songs about Jack Daniels
Songs about Jim Beam
They'll fill your cup but won't fill you up
They ain't why I sing

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

Oh-oh-oh, ooh
That's why I sing songs about Jesus
Instead of singing songs about whiskey
