Name: High On Jesus
Duration: P00H03M50S
Description: Country... Well, I am definitely not a fan of the modern radio-country. However I LOVE the old school stuff. Especially Buck Owens and Dirty Don Rich. This song is in that Bakersfield style they created back in the sixties. The content is pretty self explanatory. I love some preachers but some of them are all wrong...

lyrics

I get high on Jesus without you
I don't need no preacher, to save my soul
I get high on Jesus without you
Now I just use the good book to make me whole

The preacher said I can't love all my friends
Because their lives are filled with filthy sin
But what about trying to reach those who cannot see
No just pass the plate and give them dollars to me

I get high on Jesus without you
I don't need no preacher, to save my soul
I get high on Jesus without you
Now I just use the good book to make me whole

The preacher on the TV tells a lie
Send him the money to help the poor get by
But how can you ever help them to begin
When you're living in a ten million dollar big mansion

I get high on Jesus without you
I don't need no preacher, to save my soul
I get high on Jesus without you
Now I just use the good book to make me whole

The preacher man likes me for my skin
But don't you go boy, letting them others in
But what about judge not and you will not be judged
Well I've had enough of you and your bigoted sludge

I get high on Jesus without you
I don't need no preacher, to save my soul
I get high on Jesus without you
Now I just use that good book to make me whole
Now I just use that good book to make me whole
