Heaven’s Almost As Big As Texas

Well he walked into the bar room ragged pants and an overcoat
G7
When at first I saw him I thought he was a joke
C
G
When he started preaching I almost dropped my beer
C
D7
G
I thought John The Baptist had walked in here
C
G
In his hand he held a bible and he had scary look
G7
He could quote the scriptures without opening the book
C
G
He wasn’t to good looking he wouldn’t drive the ladies wild
C
D7
G
But I’ll have to say he damn sure had his style
C
G
He said heaven’s almost big as Texas
G7
Angels sing like Charley Pride
C
G
A7
And I’ll bet you’ll say Jesus looks a lot like Waylon hoss
C
D7
G
And when he plays there ain’t no place to hide
C
G
Well he preached about ten minutes then he gave the alter call
G7
Eighty old drunks and four barmaids have their backs to the wall
C
G
I held on to my barstool so hard my hands turned white
C
D7
G
He looked like he knew where I was that night
C
G
He said heaven’s almost big as Texas
G7
Angels sing like Charley Pride
C
G
A7
And I’ll bet you’ll say Jesus looks a lot like Waylon hoss
C
D7
G
And when he plays there ain’t no place to hide
C
G
He went out the back door and vanished into the night
G7
It took a quart of Jim Bean to get me over the fright
C
G
I don’t know where he was going and I didn’t catch his name
C
D7
G
But if I go to hell he won’t be to blame
C
G
Cause he said heaven’s almost big as Texas
G7
Angels sing like Charley Pride
C
G
A7
And I’ll bet you’ll say Jesus looks a lot like Waylon hoss
C
D7
G
And when he plays there ain’t no place to hide
C
D7
G
Yeah and when he plays there ain’t no place to hide
