The Byrds — The Christian Life

[Verse 1] My buddies tell me that I should've waited They say I'm missing a whole world of fun But I still love them, and I sing with pride I like the Christian life [Chorus] I won't lose a friend by heeding God's call For what is a friend who'd want you to fall Others find pleasure in things I despise I like the Christian life [Pedal Steel Solo] [Verse 2] My buddies shun me since I turned to Jesus They say I'm missing a whole world of fun I live without them and walk in the light I like the Christian life [Chorus] I won't lose a friend by heeding God's call For what is a friend who'd want you to fall Others find pleasure in things I despise I like the Christian life I like the Christian life
