Heaven’s Almost As Big As Texas

Well, he walked into the bar room
Ragged pants, and an overcoat
When at first, I saw him
I thought, he was a joke

When he started preaching
I almost, dropped my beer
Thought, John The Baptist
Had walked in here

In his hand, he held a bible
And he had a scary look
He could quote the scriptures
Without opening, the book

He wasn't, to good looking
He wouldn't, drive the ladies wild
But I'll have, to say
He damn sure, had his style

He said, heaven's almost big as Texas
Angels sing like, Charley Pride
And I'll bet you'll say, Jesus
Looks a lot like, Waylon hoss
And when he plays
There ain't no place, to hide

Well, he preached about ten minutes
Then he gave the alter call
Eighty old drunks, and four barmaids
Have their backs, to the wall

I held on, to my barstool
So hard, my hands turned white
He looked like he knew
Where I was that night

He said, heaven's almost big as Texas
Angels sing, like Charley Pride
And I'll bet you'll say, Jesus
Looks a lot, like Waylon hoss
And when he plays
There ain't no place, to hide

He went out, the back door
And vanished, into the night
It took a quart of, Jim Bean
To get me over, the fright

I don't know where, he was going
And I didn't catch, his name
But, if I go to hell
He won't be to blame

He said, heaven's almost big as Texas
Angels sing, like Charley Pride
And I'll bet you'll say, Jesus
Looks a lot, like Waylon hoss
And when he plays
There ain't no place, to hide

Yeah, and when he plays
There ain't no place, to hide
