They say the Devil’s water it ain’t so sweet
But you can dip your feet
Can we climb this mountain? I don’t know
But more than you’ll ever know
But he talks like a gentleman
To save you from your old ways
When you were young
I said he doesn’t look a thing like Jesus
He doesn’t look a thing like Jesus
Like you imagined when you were young

When you were young
And sometimes you close your eyes
Waiting on some beautiful boy to
When you were young
And see the place where you used to live
He doesn’t look a thing like Jesus
Higher now than ever before
Watch him now, here he come
You don’t have to drink right now
You sit there in your heartache
(Talks like a gentleman)
You play forgiveness
When you were young
You sit there in your heartache
He doesn’t look a thing like Jesus
That's takin' easy, easy now, watch it go
But he talks like a gentleman
We’re burning down the highway skyline
Every once in a little while
Watch him now, here he come
(Like you imagined when)
You play forgiveness
On the back of a hurricane that started turning
Like you imagined when you were young
To save you from your old ways
Waiting on some beautiful boy to
