Trying not to preach,

That's not what I do,

But I have to ask,

Would you say that if,

Jesus was standing next to you?


Would never say that you're right,
Never say you were wrong,
But we need to find
a better way to get along.

There will come a day
when we'll need to fight.
We'll have to defend our neighbors on the left
and the others on the right.



Trying not to preach,

That's not what I do,

But I have to ask,

Would you say that if

Jesus was standing next to you?



It's okay to disagree.

We can because we're free

Like Lincoln and Douglas,

Maybe we need to do it civilly.



Turn up the heat,

Fan the flame,

Never your fault,

The other guys to blame,



Trying not to preach,

That's not what I do,

But I have to ask,

Would you say that if

Jesus was standing next to you?



Keep them living in fear,

Swearing the future is here,

We are about to lose,

everything we held dear,



The louder you talk,

the less I hear,

The talking heads have us convinced,

that the end is near.


Trying not to preach,

That's not what I do,

But I have to ask,

Would you say that if

Jesus was standing next to you?

Let’s play a game

Let’s have some fun

We can argue about the ball you dropped.


And cost us a run


Trying not to preach,

That's not what I do,

But I have to ask,

Would you say that if

Jesus was standing next to you?



Trying not to preach,

That's not what I do,

But I have to ask,

Would you say that if

Jesus was standing next to you?

She's strutting the floor,
She's working the crowd,
She's laughing and living out loud.

I'm in the corner,
got my boots on the chair,
wondering why I still care.

I feel everyone watching,
They know she used to be mine.

a hand on my shoulder,
a whisper,
Give it some time.

She glances over,
does the slow turn away.

I guess I'll finish my beer and git on my way.

Cause she's wearing red,
And I'm feeling blue.
She's two-steppin', with somebody new.
She's wearing red
and I'm feeling blue.
I'm just the fool with nothing better to do.

Everywhere I go,
she's around,
My buddies all say she's now the gal about town.

I don't know how much more I can fake,
tell me lord
Is this your gate?


Cause she's wearing red,
And I'm feeling blue.
She's two-steppin', with somebody new.
She's wearing red
and I'm feeling blue.
I'm just the fool with nothing better to do.


She's been trouble from beginning to end,
I tell myself to help my broken heart mend
She's been trouble from beginning to end,
When she knocks at my door,
I'll play the fool again.


Cause she's wearing red ,
And I'm feeling blue.
She's two-steppin', with somebody new.
She's wearing red
and I'm feeling blue.
I'm just the fool with nothing better to do.

She's strutting the floor,
She's working the crowd,
She's laughing and living out loud.

I'm in the corner,
got my boots on the chair,
wondering why I still care.

I feel everyone watching,
They know she used to be mine.

a hand on my shoulder,
a whisper,
Give it some time.

She glances over,
does the slow turn away.

I guess I'll finish my beer and git on my way.

Cause she's wearing red,
And I'm feeling blue.
She's two-steppin', with somebody new.
She's wearing red
and I'm feeling blue.
I'm just the fool with nothing better to do.

Everywhere I go,
she's around,
My buddies all say she's now the gal about town.

I don't know how much more I can fake,

Cause she's wearing red,
And I'm feeling blue.
She's two-steppin', with somebody new.
She's wearing red
