Matthew West
Songs About Whiskey
[Verse 1]
Turned the radio on my drive today
Heard a whole lot of songs 'bout a whole bunch of things
I knew all the words but I couldn't relate
'Cause my three chords and the truth is
I ain't no preacher and I ain't no judge
My straight and narrow's been a little bit rough
Ain't tryin' to bible belt kill the buzz
'Cause God loves country music

[Chorus]
I've heard songs about Jack Daniels
Songs about Jim Beam
Heard songs about one night regrets
Neon and nicotine
I guess I'm just kinda fixed on
The only thing that's ever fixed me
That's why I sing songs about Jesus
Instead of singin' songs about whiskey

[Verse 2]
Like whеn Johnny Cash met Billy Graham
Went from raisin' hell to raisin' hands
That back pеw brought me on back again
Praise God I saw the light
Now my last call is when he calls me home
My dead end street is now a street of gold
They say sing about the things you know
And Heaven knows that's why
[Chorus]
I've heard songs about Jack Daniels
Songs about Jim Beam
Heard songs about one night regrets
Neon and nicotine
I guess I'm just kinda fixed on
The only thing that's ever fixed me
That's why I sing songs about Jesus
Instead of singin' songs about whiskey

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
I've heard songs about Jack Daniels
Songs about Jim Beam
They'll fill your cup but won't fill you up
That ain't why I sing
I guess I'm just kinda fixed on
The only thing that's ever fixed me
That's why I sing songs about Jesus
Instead of singin' songs about whiskey

[Outro]
Oh-woah-woah, ooh-ooh
That's why I sing songs about Jesus
Instead of singin' songs about whiskey
