You Can't Beat Jesus Christ Lyrics


He was born to be known as everybody's brother
He is the Father, Son and Mary is His mother
He is a 'scuse my slanguageWell, a compound country kinda guy
(Yes, He is)
Ain't no way to get around it
You just can't beat Jesus 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 moreYeah, 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 haveEven though I am a sinner
He will always be my friend
Well, He starts in the middle
And He does not have an endAnd 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 ChristYes I do, God bless you

Billy Joe Shaver is an American country music singer/songwriter. He was born August 16, 1939 in Corsicana, Texas. Shaver's 1973 album Old Five and Dimers Like Me is a classic in the outlaw country genre. Shaver was raised by his mother, Victory Watson Shaver, after his father Virgil left the family before he was born. Until he was 12, he spent a great deal of time with his grandmother in Waco, Texas so that his mother could work. He sometimes accompanied his mother to her job at a local nightclub, where he began to be exposed to country music.[1]
