Verse

C
Yeah cigarettes taste good to me
C
But the body is a temple I read so I
G                        C
I ain't messin' with Jesus
C
I love drivin' fast down a country road
C
But a voice in my head says take it slow
G                           C
So I, I ain't messin' with Jesus

CHORUS
C
I wanna keep him on my good side
C
Keep him on my bad side a little less of the time
F
I never plan on being perfect
F
I'm a back slidin' serpent of a man most of the time
                G
But I walk the line
G                         F
Until I get to the other side
                           C
No I ain't messin' with Jesus
