I crossed over the Arkansas state line
Helping Grandpa fix that old Bel Air
On a table right beside sat his .forty-five
And a bottle and the good book on his rocking chair
And I wondered how he got the joy he found
So I said Grandpa, what makes the world go 'round
And he said
All you need is God guns and whiskey
To live a good life and be the best man you can
For everything that life throws at you
Just let it be
Cause all you need is God guns and
A little bit of whiskey
I met a pretty girl and put a ring on her finger
We settled on down and had one of our own
When he grew up he got a job in city
Before he left he asked about the unknown
Let me tell you son what my grandpa told me
There's only three things in this life
You'll ever need
All you need is God guns and whiskey
To live a good life and be the best man you can
For everything that life throws at you
Just let it be
Cause all you need is God guns and
A little bit of whiskey
Well I drove down to Arkansas again
Parked in that empty spot where that Bel Air used to be
I walked inside and saw him laying there
He said I ain't got long before I've got to leave
Soon I'll be walking with the Lord through Heaven's streets
Remember all I taught you to believe
But before I go pour a shot for you and me
All you need is God guns and whiskey
To live a good life and be the best man you can
For everything that life throws at you
Just let it be
Cause all you need is God guns and
A little bit of whiskey
All you need is God guns and
A little bit of whiskey
All you need is God guns and
A little bit of whiskey
