This is a country song from Paisley's new CD. I think the song is cute and fun to sing along to, though it's full of Christian imagery and I'm Pagan. I also think there's truth to it. But other people can have other interpretations. Some people object, saying it gives Christians a license to sin or shows how selective they can be. What's yours?

Snippet to give you the point:
"I said a bad word when I was a kid.
Mamma said that I'd be sorry for the sin that I did.
My daddy whooped me and the
preacher said shame.
And I tried like hell to change.
But I cuss,
And I smoke,
I laugh at dirty jokes.
The minor vices, man I know 'em well.
I've closed down bars.
I've lusted in my heart.
My exes think I oughta burn in hell.
But the devil, he won't notice when I die.
Yeah, don't you figure he's got bigger fish to fry?"
