Dug Up Jesus Again

[Verse 1]
Been runnin’ with the sinners since I was seventeen,
Whiskey for my breakfast, hate in my bloodstream.
Had a Bible in the glovebox, dust thick as sin,
Til the night I hit rock bottom and found my knees again.
[Chorus]
I buried the ole devil and dug up Jesus again,
Laid that bottle down, said goodbye to my friend.
Ain’t no halo on me, but I’m tryin’ to make amends,
Yeah, I buried the ole devil and dug up Jesus again.
[Verse 2]
Barroom angels laughed when I said I’d change,
Guess they’d seen too many lost souls do the same.
But the morning came clean, the smoke rolled away,
And I felt a little mercy where the darkness used to stay.
[Chorus]
I buried the ole devil and dug up Jesus again,
Told my demons they ain’t welcome in this skin.
Ain’t no preacher boy, just a man on the mend,
Yeah, I buried the ole devil and dug up Jesus again.
[Bridge]
Now I still cuss and I still bleed,
But I thank the Lord for what I need.
He don’t mind a rough-edged prayer,
Long as it’s real, He’s always there.
[Final Chorus]
I buried the ole devil and dug up Jesus again,
Let the angels sing, let the past blow in the wind.
Got dirt on my hands, but I’m clean within,
Yeah, I buried the ole devil and dug up Jesus again.
[Tag]
Yeah, the devil had his time —
But the good Lord got in.

We’re all built from the same dust and dreams,
Different roads, but the same means.
