Bar Stool and Church Pew

verse 1-
everything that old mans got
he had to work for
yeah he's fought in two wars
being loggin almost his whole life
loves his kids
and his wife
loves Jesus and the lord
oh those he'd lay his life down for

chorus-
he likes him a tall cold one
and a shot of jack
but he always comes runnin back
and hits his knees
and says lord please forgive me for everything
come saturday night
he'll be sittin high
on that bar stool
but with the sunday morning light
he'll be in that church pew

verse 2-
yeah he's got a few scars on his knuckes
a couple gold buckles
but he's got that bible right next to his bed
that he reads before he lays down his head
he's been known to get a little sideways
on that straight and arrow path
yeah he's had a few bad days
but he never forgets to pray

chorus-
he likes him a tall cold one
and a shot of jack
but he always comes runnin back
and hits his knees
and says lord please forgive me for everything
come saturday night
he'll be sittin high
on that bar stool
but with the sunday morning light
he'll be in that church pew

verse 3-
he sees both sides
never lies
just lives his life
might now always get it right
but he talks to the man up stairs every night

chorus-
he likes him a tall cold one
and a shot of jack
but he always comes runnin back
and hits his knees
and says lord please forgive me for everything
come saturday night
he'll be sittin high
on that bar stool
but with the sunday morning light
he'll be in that church pew
