[Verse 1]
I guess I'm traveling my last mile
Don't feel like I've got a place to go
Just been here thinkin'
If I got somethin' in this life to show

[Chorus]
But I go through life the best way
And when people ask me how I know
I just tell them my Jesus told me so
I just tell them my Jesus told me so

[Verse 2]
You hear a lot of stories
About the life you're supposed to live
All the sins you've done
The good Lord will forgive

[Chorus]
But I go through life the best way
And when people ask me how I know
I just tell them my Jesus told me so
I just tell them my Jesus told me so

[Bridge]
Maybe I'm wrong
Nobody knows for sure
But I live my life that old gospel way
[Verse 3]
Well I guess I'll soon be dying
Just like a river
Somewhere it stops to flow

[Chorus]
But I know I'm right about life
And when people ask me how I know
I just tell them my Jesus told me so
I just tell them my Jesus told me so

[Outro]
I just tell them my Jesus told me so
He's the only one who really knows
I just tell them my Jesus told me so
He's the only one who really knows
I just tell them my Jesus told me so
I'm gonna look ‘em in the eye
And tell ‘em Lord my Jesus told me so
