Praying By The Rules

Dear God, can you forgive me for this beer And the language? Damn, I need your help down here I was hoping to bend your ear I ain't kneeled down in my Sunday best I'm in a field in dirty denim And I hope that ain't a deal breaker For my dear Savior To help an old boy out Without a Bible in his hand Showing up just as I am Hat's on, head ain't bowed Ain't got no Southern Baptist pew And I'm as dusty as these boots I hope it's cool that I ain't praying by the rules I don't know the ins and outs of how this whole thing goes I'm sure you got a couple million folks Of lost souls waiting in line With a little more important things in mind But somehow you always find the time To help an old boy out Without a Bible in his hand Showing up just as I am Hat's on, head ain't bowed Ain't got no Southern Baptist pew And I'm as dusty as these boots I hope it's cool that I ain't prayin' by the rules I guess I'll let you go I'll get to the amen But we both know I'll be back 'Cause I'll need you again To help this old boy out Without a Bible in his hand Showing up just as I am Hat's on, head ain't bowed Ain't got no Southern Baptist pew But I'm as dusty as these boots I hope it's cool that I ain't praying by the rules That I ain't praying by the rules That I ain't praying by the rules
