Drinking With Jesus

Verse 1-
I've been asked a few times
if you could meet anyone dead or alive
who would it be
well you know I throw around a few names
but that's pretty easy
I've always wondered how it'd be

Chorus-
Drinking with jesus
I'd buy him some rounds
and we'd sit on down
in some sleepy little town
in a dark corner all alone
and I'd ask him everything on my mind
but you know there wouldn't be enough time
I'd ask him for forgiveness from all of my sin
put in a good word for me with your daddy
and tell my grandpa I miss him
if I was drinking with Jesus

Verse 2-
I'd ask him why that buddy of mine
was called home
and how I made it through so many close calls
I'd ask him if he hears my prayers
and what's it like up there
ask him how he always turned the other cheek
and why he died for sinners like me
yeah I've always wondered how it'd be

Chorus-
Drinking with jesus
I'd buy him some rounds
and we'd sit on down
in some sleepy little town
in a dark corner all alone
and I'd ask him everything on my mind
but you know there wouldn't be enough time
I'd ask him for forgiveness from all of my sin
put in a good word for me with your daddy
and tell my grandpa I miss him
if I was drinking with Jesus

Verse 3-
I know he wouldn't be able to stay long
but I'd put another quarter in the juke box
and play another song
and hope he'd stay a little longer with me
oh I've always wondered how it'd be

Chorus-
Drinking with jesus
I'd buy him some rounds
and we'd sit on down
in some sleepy little town
in a dark corner all alone
and I'd ask him everything on my mind
but you know there wouldn't be enough time
I'd ask him for forgiveness from all of my sin
put in a good word for me with your daddy
and tell my grandpa I miss him
if I was drinking with Jesus
