You Can't Beat Jesus Christ - Billy Joe Shaver

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 slanguage

Well, 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)

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 more

Yeah, when it came to gamblin'

Well, the Lord God knows I’d roll them dice

(Yes, I would)

Ain’t no reason to deny it

I have been saved by Jesus Christ

Praise the Lord

Well, even though I am a sinner

He will always be my friend

He starts in the middle

And He does not have an end

And when my soul was held for ransom

Well, He is the one that paid the price

There ain’t no two ways about it

I owe it all to Jesus Christ

You know I do

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 slanguage

Well, a compound country kinda guy

Ain’t no way to get around it

You just can’t beat Jesus Christ

I mean it

(Hallelujah)
