If I could have a beer with Jesus Heaven knows I'd sip it nice and slow
I'd try to pick a place that ain't too crowded Or gladly go wherever he wants to go
You can bet I'd order up a couple talks And tell the waitress to put them on my tab
I'd be sure to let him do the talkin' Careful when I got the chance to ask
Tell me, how'd you turn the other chick To save a sorry soul like me?
Do you hear the prayers I send? And what happens when life ends?
And when you think you're coming back again? I'd tell everyone, but no one would believe it
If I could have a beer with Jesus If I could have a beer with Jesus
I'd put my whole paycheck in that jukebox And I'd fill it up with nothing but the good stuff
I'd sit somewhere and we couldn't see a clock And ask him, how'd you turn the other chick
To save a sorry soul like me? Have you been there from the start?
How'd you change a sinner's heart? And is heaven really just beyond the stars?
I'd tell everyone, but no one would believe it If I could have a beer with Jesus
He can probably only stay for just a couple rounds But I hope and pray he'd stay until we shut that old place down
Ask him, how'd you turn the other chick To save a sorry soul like me?
What's on the other side? Is mom and daddy alright? And if it ain't no trouble, tell them I said hi
I'd tell everyone, but no one would believe it If I could have a beer with Jesus
I'd tell everyone, but no one would believe it If I could have a beer with Jesus
