  • I like the Christian life

    My buddies tell me that I should have waited
    They say I'm missing a whole world of fun
    But I am happy and I sing with pride
    I like the Christian life

    I won't lose a friend by heeding God's call
    For what is a friend who'd want you to fall
    Others find pleasures in things I despise
    I like the Christian life

    My buddies shun me since I turned to Jesus
    But I still love them they burden my heart
    I'll try to lead them to walk in the light
    I like the Christian life

    I won't lose a friend by heeding God's call
    For what is a friend who'd want you to fall
    Others find pleasures in things I despise
    I like the Christian life Writer/s: LOUVIN

  • Niles from Belpre, OhAh--- Sweetheart of the rodeo,,, darn -near wore the record out... I still have it, by the way
  • Kevin from Reading , PaIt's ironic that McGuinn did choose to kind of yuk-it-up when he took over the lead vocal, because he himself ended up being a devoted Christian. In his defense, it seems more like he's doing a Gram Parsons imitation than deliberatley making a mockery of a song that is an ode to living a religious life.
