You Just Can't Beat Jesus Christ
B.J. Shaver
Live From Austin Texas: Outlaw Country
INTRO: E
He was [E]born to be known as everybody's brother
[E]He is the father son and mary is his mother
He is a [A]'scuse my slanguage, well a compound country kinda [E]guy (yes he is)
Ain't no [B]way to get around it, [A]you just can't beat Jesus [E]Christ (no you can't)
Well i used to crank and drank until my back was to the floor
I'd take it to the limit then I'd try to get some more
Yeah when it came to gamblin', well Lord I'd know how to roll them dice (yes I would)
Ain't no two ways about it, I have been saved by Jesus Christ, yes I have (praise the Lord guitar)
SOLO
Even though I am a sinner he will always be my friend
Well he starts in the middle and he does not have an end
And when my soul was held for ransom yeah he is the one who paid the price
Ain't no reason to deny it, I owe it all to Jesus Christ, yes I do, god bless you
SOLO out
