Try Jesus

I met a guy outside Bozeman
He liked drinkin' and smokin'
It was fun 'til he asked
If we could keep things open
And there was one in LA
He had his head screwed on straight
'Til I found out he was married
And had one on the way
Mama's been prayin'
I'd do some changin'
After all this heartbreakin'
It's finally got me thinkin'
I should try Jesus
See what all the fuss is about
Thinkin' I should try Jesus
'Cause every other man let me down
Got me singin': Hey, hallelujah, a-freakin'-men
Baby, I don't need me anybody but Him
There was one in Miami
Took me home to his family
You know, he swore he was different
But I ain't met one that isn't
This way I've been livin'
I might need some forgivin'
Thinkin' Sunday mornin'
I need a brand new beginnin'
I'm gonna try Jesus
See what all the fuss is about
Thinkin' I should try Jesus
'Cause every other man let me down
Got me singin': Hey, hallelujah, a-freakin'-men
Baby, I don't need me anybody but Him
Try Jesus
Lord, let Your light shine down (try Jesus)
Come and turn my life around
No one else is workin' out (try Jesus)
I could use a miracle right about now
I'm gonna try Jesus (try Jesus)
See what all the fuss is about
Thinkin' I should try Jesus
'Cause every other man let me down
Got me singin': Hey, hallelujah, a-freakin'-men
Baby, I don't need me anybody but Him
Thinkin' I should try Jesus (try Jesus)
