If I could have a beer with Jesus,

or gladly go wherever he wants to go

C D G
and tell the waitress put 'em on my tab

I'd be sure to let him do the talkin'
C D
careful when I got the chance to ask
[Refrão] G Bm C D

G Bm C D
To save a sorry soul like me

And when you think you're comin' back again
