[Verse 1]
Dear God, can You forgive me for this beer
And the language?
Damn, I need Your help down here, I was hopin' to bend Your ear
I ain't kneeled down in my Sunday best, I'm in a field
In dirty denim
And I hope that ain't a deal-breaker for my dear Savior
[Chorus]
To help an ol' boy out
Without a Bible in his hand, showin' up just as I am
Hat's on, head ain't bowed
I ain't got no Southern Baptist pew and I'm as dusty as these boots
I hope it's cool
That I ain't prayin' by the rules
[Verse 2]
I don't know
The ins and outs of how this whole thing goes
I'm sure You got a couple million folks, lost souls
Waitin' in line
With a little more important things in mind
But somehow, You always find the time
[Chorus]
To help an ol' boy out
Without a Biblе in his hand, showin' up just as I am
Hat's on, head ain't bowed
Ain't got no Southern Baptist pеw and I'm as dusty as these boots
I hope it's cool
That I ain't prayin' by the rules
[Bridge]
I guess I'll let You go, I'll get to the "Amen"
But we both know I'll be back 'cause I'll need You again
[Chorus]
To help this ol' boy out
Without a Bible in his hand, showin' up just as I am
Hat's on, head ain't bowed
Ain't got no Southern Baptist pew, but I'm as dusty as these boots
I hope it's cool
That I ain't prayin' by the rules
[Outro]
That I ain't prayin' by the rules
That I ain't prayin' by the rules
