Jealous Of Jesus

I've always been a fighting man

Cutting my teeth on whatever I can grab

I've always been a wandering man

Walking like the wind

Gone in a blink that you ain't seen since

Maybe I just envy

Something I can't see

But the way you talk 'bout another man

While you're lying right next to me

No, I ain't been a religious man

But she's got faith when she folds her hands

And the look on her face when she says "amen"

How could he be my rival?

Well, she's got the book, and I got the glass

Turning water into whiskey, but it ain't doing jack

Or am I too dumb or too damn blind to see it?

That maybe I'm just jealous of Jesus

Whoa-oh, oh-oh

So tell me I'm a liar

Tell me I'm wrong

Say what you want about it

But, darling, I love you

But I ain't that strong that our love could move some mountains

So give me a chance now, a real one

Might not be a staircase to Heaven

So tell me what you need me to do

Girl, all I want is you

But, no, I ain't been a religious man

But she's got faith when she folds her hands

And the look on her face when she says "amen"

How could he be my rival?

Well, she's got the book, and I got the glass

Turning water into whiskey, but it ain't doing jack

Or am I too dumb or too damn blind to see it?

That maybe I'm just jealous of Jesus

Whoa-oh, oh-oh

That maybe I'm just jealous of Jesus

Whoa-oh, oh-oh

Maybe I can't be the man you need (Man you need)

If I can't believe in something I can't see

No, I ain't been a religious man

But she's got faith when she folds her hands

And the look on her face when she says, "amen"

How could he be my rival? (How could he be my rival?)

Well, she's got the book, and I got the glass

Turning water into whiskey, but it ain't doing jack

Or am I too dumb or too damn blind to see it?

So am I wrong that I just can't believe it?

That maybe I'm just jealous of Jesus

Whoa-oh, oh-oh

Then maybe I'm just jealous of Jesus

Whoa-oh, oh-oh-oh
