Heart Like Mine

I ain't the kind you take home to mama

I ain't the kind to wear no ring

Somehow I always get stronger

When I'm on my second drink

Even though I hate to admit it

Sometimes I smoke cigarettes

The Christian folks say I should quit it

And I just smile and say, "God Bless"

'Cause I heard Jesus, he drank wine

And I bet we'd get along just fine

He could calm a storm and heal the blind

And I bet he'd understand a heart like mine

Daddy cried when he saw my tattoo

But said he loved me anyway

My brother got the brains of the family

So I thought I'd learn to sing

'Cause I heard Jesus, he drank wine

And I bet we'd get along just fine

He could calm a storm and heal the blind

And I bet he'd understand a heart like mine

I'll fly away, from it all one day

And I'll fly away

These are the days that I will remember

When my name's called on a roll

He'll meet me with two long-stemmed glasses

And make a toast to me coming home

'Cause I heard Jesus, he drank wine

And I bet we'd get along just fine

He could calm a storm and heal the blind

And I bet he'd understand

Understand a heart like mine

Ooh, yes he would
