My buddies tell me that I should have waited
D A E A
They say I'm missing a whole world of fun
D A D G
But I still love them and I say with pride
D A D
I like the Christian life
A G D
I won't lose a friend while heeding God's call
A G A
For what is a friend who'd want you to fall
D A D G
Others find pleasures in things I despise
D A D
I like the Christian life

I won't lose a friend while heeding God's call
