Can I Get an Amen

by Jason Michael Carroll

on Numbers (2011)

I believe in a helpin' hand,
But I think a man ought to stand up for himself.
If prayer's what Sunday morning's for, I love the Lord
But I do raise a little hell... I will
And I'm prepared to sacrifice for what is right
But I'm not quite convinced... not yet
That the men we sent to represent in the government
Even know what the right thing is
Listen to this

Can I get an amen?
A shout-out from my rowdy redneck friends?
I'll say it again
Am I gettin' through, am I makin' sense
Are we all on the same side of the fence?
Now's the time to get your two cents in
Can I get an amen?

I believe in equal pay,
If the job's the same, why pay somebody less?
It don't make sense.
And I believe in women's rights,
But I ain't gonna lie, I do like a short tight dress, oh yes

Can I get an amen?
A shout-out from my rowdy redneck friends?
I'll say it again
Am I gettin' through, am I makin' sense
Are we all on the same side of the fence?
Don't you wanna get your two cents in
Can I get an amen?

I believe in loud guitars, smoky bars and muscle cars
Pick-up trucks and gun control, as long as they leave mine alone.
Mother Freedom, Father Time, lookin' people in the eye
And who you are means more than where you've been

Can I get an amen?
A shout-out from my rowdy redneck friends?
I'll say it again
Am I gettin' through, am I makin' sense
Are we all on the same side of the fence?
Don't you wanna get your two cents in
Can I get an amen?
Oh yeah, can I get an amen?
