I've seen your fire and brimstone That billboard sign on the road But you can't scare me to heaven With gasoline on my soul This that back road, baptism, weed, smoke and syrup Sippin' whiskey, river, carry me home I've been known to find my kind of people That ain't at home underneath church steeples You'd be surprised the places I find Jesus That ain't the regular crowd I've been down and out I'm better with the lost than the found My solid ground is better with the lost than the found I learn my lessons in dive bars At Sunday school on the streets I've done my searchin' for high bars Red letters setting me free This that back road, baptism, weed, smoke and syrup Sippin' whiskey, river, carry me home I've been known to find my kind of people That ain't at home underneath church steeples You'd be surprised the places I find Jesus That ain't the regular crowd I've been down and out I'm better with the lost than the found My solid ground is better with the lost than the found I'm better with the lost than the found Lord, won't you hear my prayers? I'm better with the lost than the found It's where I find my solid ground It's that back road, baptism, weed, smoke and syrup Sippin' whiskey, river, carry me home I've been known to find my kind of people That ain't at home underneath church steeples You'd be surprised the places I find Jesus That ain't the regular crowd I've been down and out I'm better with the lost than the found My solid ground is better with the lost than the found
