Heaven's Almost As Big As Texas

Heaven's Almost As Big As Texas - Johnny Paycheck

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 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
