Lord Help Me Be the Kind of Person  
Recorded by The Bellamy Brothers
Written by David Bellamy

G
I try to get up every morning
                                  C
With a smile and apply the Golden Rule
    D7
But sometimes that old devil takes me
                       G    D7
And I go acting like a fool

     G
Dear Jesus I keep trying to be perfect
                      C
But I'm just a mortal man
D7
Lord help me be the kind of person 
                G
My dog thinks I am


Sometimes I go to church on Sunday
                              C
With Saturday's whiskey on my breath
           D7
But I keep praying and promising to quit
                         G    D7
Before I drink myself to death

        G
Help me walk the straight and narrow
                         C
Change this light into a lamp
   D7
Oh Lord help me be the kind of person 
                G
My dog thinks I am

  C
I know he's just a mutt
                                            G
But he don't judge me when times get pretty hard
   C                                            D7
He fetches my Bible and buries my liquor in the yard

G
I can feel your love inside me Lord
                                        C
And I know that I'll be coming home someday
     D7
When I do I pray you'll find a pair of wings 
        G   D7
For old Jake

        G
Now the preacher's been real good to me
                                        C
But I know who's really been there in a jam
D7
Lord help me be the kind of person 
                G
My dog thinks I am

     D7
Dear Lord help me be the kind of person 
                G
My dog thinks I am
