If I Were Rock & Roll

[Verse 1]
If I were a NASCAR man goin' 'round and 'round
Yeah, you know I'd be number three
If I were the best damn football in the south
I'd be the SEC
And if I were a Velcro stitched-up stars and stripes
You can bet I'd be flyin' proud
Pressed on the chest of America's best
Puttin' bad dudes in the ground

[Chorus]
And if I were rock and roll
I'd be a middle finger in your face
If I were a lost soul
I'd be in church more than just Sundays
And if for some reason I was Jesus
I'd have a lot of forgivin' to do
And if I weren't a fool
Girl, I'd still be with you

[Verse 2]
If I were a granddaddy rockin' on a rockin' chair
I'd have a grandson on my lap
If I were a first time there, front porch stare
I'd pray she kissed me back
And if I were a rebel kid meetin' with the man
Hearin' "Johnny Can't Do That"
With this guitar strapped, I'd go all black
Tell 'em all to kiss my—

[Chorus]
If I were rock and roll
I'd be a middle finger in your face
If I were a lost soul
I'd be in church more than just Sundays
And if for some reason I was Jesus
I'd have a lot of forgivin' to do
And if I weren't a fool
Girl, I'd still be with you

[Post-Chorus]
Yeah, I'd still be with you

[Bridge]
If I were a smart man
I wouldn't just write you a song
Straight from the heart and
And pray you turned it on
No, I'd step it up and I'd mean it
When I look into your eyes
And I'd be on my way to Baton Rouge
And I'd be holdin' you tonight

[Chorus]
And if I were rock and roll
I'd be a middle finger in your face
If I were a lost soul
I'd be in church more than just Sundays
And if for some reason I was Jesus
I'd have a lot of forgivin' to do
And if I weren't a fool
Girl, I'd still be with you

[Outro]
Yeah, I'd still be with you
Oh, I'd still be, oh, I'd still be with you
Yeah, I'd still be with you
Oh, I'd still be with you
