[Chorus]
If Jesus walked the world today he'd probably be a hillbilly
Common man of men and the king of many
Hed lay his hands on his brother man, save us all from sinning
If Jesus walked the world today he'd probably be a hillbilly

[Verse 1]
If was here today I bet he'd drive a Chevrolet
Working at the plant and drawing workers pay
Hed preach in some little country church outside of the city
If Jesus walked the world today he'd probably be a hillbilly

[Chorus]
If Jesus walked the world today he'd probably be a hillbilly
Common man of men and the king of many
Hed lay his hands on his brother man, save us all from sinning
If Jesus walked the world today he'd probably be a hillbilly

[Verse 2]
His long hair and sandaled feet would be in style
Surround himself with the good old boys to tell his tale
He'd have a mighty cross tattoo
On his hands by the nail holes that killed him
If Jesus walked the world today he'd probably be a hillbilly

[Chorus]
If Jesus walked the world today he'd probably be a hillbilly
Common man of men and the king of many
Hed lay his hands on his brother man, save us all from sinning
If Jesus walked the world today he'd probably be a hillbilly

[Verse 3]
Well, some folks would say it wasn't really him
You know they'd probably send him off to some kind of loony bin
They wouldn't hang him on the cross
But they'd find some way to condemn him
If Jesus walked the world today he'd probably be a hillbilly

[Chorus]
If Jesus walked the world today he'd probably be a hillbilly
Common man of men and the king of many
Hed lay his hands on his brother man, save us all from sinning
If Jesus walked the world today he'd probably be a hillbilly

[Outro]
Yeah, he'd be a hillbilly
I bet Jesus'd be a hillbilly
Oh, you know he'd be hillbilly
(Hillbilly, if Jesus walked the world today)
