You Can't Beat Jesus Christ with Billy Joe Shaver

歌詞

He was born to be known as everybody's brother He is the Father, Son, and Mary is His mother He is a 'scuse my slanguage Well, a compound country kinda guy (Yes, He is) Ain't no way to get around it You just can't beat Jesus Christ (No, you can't) I used to crank and drank Until my back was to the floor I'd take it to the limit Then I'd try to get some more Yeah, when it came to gamblin' Well, the Lord God knows I'd roll them dice (Yes, I would) Ain't no reason to deny it I have been saved by Jesus Christ Praise the Lord Well, even though I am a sinner He will always be my friend He starts in the middle And He does not have an end And when my soul was held for ransom Well, He is the one that paid the price There ain't no two ways about it I owe it all to Jesus Christ You know I do He was born to be known as everybody's brother He is the Father, Son, and Mary is His mother He is a 'scuse my slanguage Well, a compound country kinda guy Ain't no way to get around it You just can't beat Jesus Christ I mean it (Hallelujah)
