[Verse]
Am F
Paint your truck tread with some red dust
G C
While you kick up the long way home
Am F
Share some bootleg with your best buds
G C
Wear a bit of that bonfire smoke
Am F
If a back porch swing and twang in your words
G C
And settin' that hook was a Good Book verse
Am F
I'd be doin' alright
G C
I'd know where I's goin' when I get to the other side 'cause
[Chorus]
F G
Backroads and cold beer
Am C
Are my down-home prayer
F G
Can't get no closer
Am
To the Man upstairs
C F
Than way out there, where the river runs
G Am G C F
Lord knows I'd be one hell of a disciple
G
If bein' country was in the Bible
Am C
Hallelujah, amen
F
Heaven blessed this life I live
Am C F
Hallelujah, amen, aaaamen
[Verse]
Am F G
If "John Deere Green" was 3:16
C Am
And old barstools were back pew seats
F G C
These Friday nights would all just seem like Sunday mornin'
Am F
If them words in red were a little more read
G C
This sinner'd be a saint instead
[Chorus]
F G
'Cause backroads and cold beer
Am C
Are my down-home prayer
F G
Can't get no closer
Am
To the Man upstairs
C F
Than way out there, where the river runs
G Am G C F
Lord knows I'd be one hell of a disciple
G
If bein' country was in the Bible
Am C
Hallelujah, amen
F
Heaven blessed this life I live
Am C F
Hallelujah, amen, aaaamen
