McGraw, Tim - Drugs Or Jesus Lyrics






In my home town
For anyone who sticks around
You're either lost or you're found
There's not much in between
In my home town
Everything's still black and white
It's a long, long way from wrong to right
From Sunday morning to Saturday night

Everybody just wants to get high
Sit and watch a perfect world go by
We're all looking for love and meaning in our lives
We follow the roads that lead us
To drugs or Jesus

My whole life
I've tried to run, I've tried to hide
From the stained glass windows in my mind
Refusing to let God's light shine
Down on me
Down on me

Everybody just wants to get high
Sit and watch a perfect world go by
We're all looking for love and meaning in our lives
There's not much space between us
Drugs or Jesus

Everybody wants acceptance
We all just want some proof
Everyone's just looking for the truth

Everybody just wants to get high
Sit and watch a perfect world go by
We're all looking for love and meaning in our lives
We follow the roads that lead us
To drugs or Jesus

McGraw, Tim Drugs Or Jesus Comments
  1. I.... A....

    Beautiful song

  2. N.... P....

    104 are addicted to drugs or have not found Jesus.

  3. M.... N....

    Anyone on drugs will definitely see Jesus or which ever god they were indoctrinated to believe in. They'll see all sorts of fictional characters.
    Don't do drugs or drink the Kool Aid kids!


    This message was brought to you by rational, logical, free thinkers. :)

    I had been clean and sober from meth for 10 years now every time when I hear this song it reminds me how far that i had came in life since I had choosen Jesus over drugs. Since then my life has never been the same.

  6. R.... W....

    I smoke weed to connect closer with God and Jesus, say what you will but Marijuana is one of the best GOD made medicine there is.

  7. P.... C....

    Jesus Christ drank wine and smoked hashish... Relax, it isn't poison!

  8. J.... D....

    Keep on smiling at me one day u will c the truth about this song

  9. T.... M....

    My Favorite Song of Urs, Samuel

  10. J.... L....

    I bought this album in I guess Feb 2005.... I wanted for the song live like you're dying. That song hit me in my soul, made me feel good. Then I heard this song and started thinking how it was like written about me. As I stood and opened the cd case to read the words, the picture I saw beside this song, Jesus neon sign, it was exactly like I had seen in a vision 7 years before, when God told me it would be my time...… I dropped the case and printed papers in it.. It seemed they fell to the floor in slow motion. I knew God was coming to get me, I was still drinking heavy and smoking cocaine heavily. In the next couple weeks something awesome happened. On my 38th birthday, as I was sitting under a store smoking coke, wanting my heart to burst and get me out of this world, the Spirit of God was singing " Jesus Loves Me" in my head. I was breaking down hard. 20 plus years of abusing drugs and alcohol, 2 failed marriages, turned my back on Jesus many times during that time...…. I had met him when I was 7, knew he had a plan for my life, but at 18 I turned my back to him to do drugs..... literally..... I remember the conversation, and I saw a vision of staircase of fire spiraling downward into darkness and I was walking down it. 20 years later, I was there that morning, on a Sunday morning, I had lost all hope in ever getting off drugs.... As I walked to my parents house, I wouldn't even walk by the church because of my shame. I told Jesus I didn't believe he could even fix me, I had gone down so far..... That was March 20, 2005...…. Over the next couple weeks things started happening.... I stopped doing the drugs and booze.. went to church the following Sunday.... sitting there sweating and shaking cause my flesh wanted to get high. During that week I said a prayer to God, I asked him if he would give the desire to be sober, I wouldn't throw it away again..... I went to several rehabs during my 20's... never could give my heart to Jesus.... that following Sunday at church as the preacher was getting ready to serve communion, I was wondering how he picked people to help him serve. At that very moment the preacher asked me to come help. I knew God had heard my question. As I was standing there holding that cup of grape juice, I looked in the cup and it looked like blood.... I saw the Blood of Jesus in that cup. I was shaking, trembling and I heard God tell me it was time for me to serve him..... He poured his Spirit into me as I stood there. I felt each persons spirit as they dipped their bread in that cup..... God gave me far more than a desire to be sober, he rocked my world. Turned my life around like a whirlwind. I was set on fire like no one ever had been.. I'm still on fire for him. I haven't listened to these songs in years. They have brought back some good feelings, memories.... A lot has happened in 14 years..... that was just the beginning testimony of a lifetime of testimony. I don't know if I will ever meet you in this world Tim McGraw, but I want you to know, your music had a part in my getting my life back right with God. For anyone else that is reading this, if you don't like the road you are on, give Jesus a call. He will show up and He will change your heart and life. God Bless you all.. Jesus Loves you and so do I... here is my FB page, take a look.....https://www.facebook.com/JohnWLewisART/

  11. J.... ....

    I choose drugs because drugs are funny, and Jesus is some random Mexican that works and sleeps in a Taco Bell. BTW, it is pronounced "Hey Zeus" or "Gee Us". That name "Gee Us" sounds like someone who just got done taking a 15 minute dump after being constipated for 3 hours as those were his words after relieving himself.

  12. R.... B....

    Frumoasă melodie !

  13. a.... m....

    There is no high like Jesus Christ my Savior

  14. J.... A....

    Neither.

  15. B.... H....

    A song that I hold close in my heart, if you really listen to the words you can look within yourself and find what is inside your heart.

    B.... H....

    Youre either lost or your found, Wow .. those words mean EVERYTHING

  16. t.... ....

    Great deep track song, not a great radio song. This song was the beginning of tims minor struggle in the mid 000s

  17. g.... g....

    its your choice. drugs or jesus?

  18. B.... M....

    Jesus always seemed to be begging for my money or my time at the church. For 32 years I’ve been in church been SAVED, baptized was the song leader at church. And finally I just realized it’s all just man made bullshit sorry folks. Religion is nothing more than a man made way of mind control . But if it gets you through life I say more power to you

    B.... M....

    Jesus doesn't need your money, he already owns it all. Please don't confuse religion with a relationship with God. It was the religious leaders of the day who wanted Jesus crucified.

  19. C.... K....

    Touchdown Jesus, Tim you are a blessing.Save by grace through faith,clean and sober now by God's grace alone,when He reached down for me He had to reach way down.Thank you Jesus

  20. T.... B....

    DRUGS PLEASE!!!

  21. H.... W....

    I choose jesus over the world no drugs

    H.... W....

    That's a great choice

  22. P.... H....

  23. L.... B....

    How have I never heard of this song...DAMN Country Radio for only playing new country.

  24. M.... C....

    I swear he could sing about watching a snail on his windowsill and it'd be a hit

  25. A.... M....

    I replaced "drugs" with "alcohol" and replaced "high "with "drunk "....... so whatever you're struggling with just fill in the blanks

  26. A.... R....

    Hit my 90 days clean and free from drugs. I couldn't have it any other way. I am a free woman of the horrible drug I was using. God's the only way folks.

  27. m.... ....

    So sad, our home town is just like this. I have watched so many lives end due to drugs. Its heartbreaking! So young, so much life ahead of them, what a waste!!!

  28. A.... F....

    Sempre devemos escolher Jesus

  29. K.... B....

    I have epilepsy and I have to take high doses of anti seizure meds, and I am always depressed. I always look high above for God's advice and that helps me to always remember to stay alive.

    K.... B....

    Dont feel bad I have epilepsy as well I know how you feel

  30. l.... l....

    Jesus help all those seeking a way out of the drug prison to be free in your holy name do what only you can do all for your glory

    l.... l....

    It’s because of Jesus that I have been delivered from alcohol, meth, antidepressants, tobacco, and marijuana!

  31. l.... l....

    I want Jesus haulelujha

  32. T.... F....

    I've got some time clean n I tell u what when I feel like using I turn this song on .

  33. M.... M....

    I need the light no darkness I want to go home in the heavens

  34. A.... H....

    WHAT A MESSAGE TO ADDICTION BOND FOLKS.TRUTH JESUS SETS FREE GIVES HOPE.

  35. T.... M....

    I was the in between guy.  I wanted to be high.  I tried to hide from pastors and ran from the holy rollers!  I just want the truth... it's drugs or Jesus.

  36. b.... ....

    I haven't heard this song in years and I am so glad that I re-discovered it. I wish Tim would sing songs like this again.

  37. C.... G....

    Struggling with an addiction right now, I was sober for 5 months and relapsed now I'm 8 months sober and I haven't felt better, I started to go to church again and I go every sunday. I love it

    C.... G....

    Colin Graham start kratom. It has saved many lives and gotten many people off drugs

  38. U.... ....

    I like the song, but the lyrics are pretty fucked. First off, 'Jesus' IS a drug. Living in a fantasy world is not good for society. Also, it is most definitely NOT a perfect world, and this is largely due to people grasping to old fairy tales like 'Jesus', and his psycho 'daddy'.

  39. p.... o....

    He is your Saviour !! Petersholyrock.com.

  40. M.... S....

    Incredible. Why have I not heard this before?!

  41. S.... R....

    Sober three and a half years, Thank you Tim McGraw for inspiration!! Awesome! Thank Jesus

  42. J.... C....

    Drugs are the easy way To get High. It s also the lazy one. I chose it 35 years ago and i m still searching for the light. But those who chose Jesus at the same time are still searching

  43. A.... L....

    fast way to a cofffin

  44. I.... ....

    3:33 best part

  45. m.... w....

    this song means heaps, my bro died a couple months back from an overdose, i myself struggle daily with being straight.

    m.... w....

    maurice whelan So sorry for your loss. Don't ever give up or stop fighting. You can beat this and overcome this addiction. God bless your soul ❤

  46. T.... M....

    Anyone else hearing the Lyrics to Journey Faithfully? Love Tim and Love Journey, but that beginning was almost dead on a copy

    T.... M....

    Tom Markert I was just thinking the same thing. This is the first time i’ve heard this song.

  47. P.... C....

    Hey Tim, Jesus Christ drank wine and smoked hashish and opium.

    P.... C....

    jesus made wine not drink it and Jesus never smoked hashish or opium

  48. J.... ....

    I choose drugs over Jesus because drugs are funnier! XD

    J.... ....

    JuniorfanTheEnlightment repent for the Kingdom of heaven is at hand and accept Lord Jesus as your saviour , its not to late to repent and be forgivin. I hope you do i love you God bless

  49. R.... H....

    This song hit me like a bag of rocks (gravel)... I can personally tell you this one has touch my heart emotionally, and physically... My friends who are struggling with addictions... For a while now, I have been attending Celebration Recovery (CR) at a local church... I have suffered a lot drug addiction (my biological mother was doing this) because I was born at thirty-two weeks premature with mild Cerebral Palsey one side weaker than the other... Suffering from hydrocephalus... I am alive no longer have VP Shunt... Considering myself lucky... Thank You God for Your Son Jesus Christ to die on the Cross of Calvary. I'm alive and living forever more. I worship You and ask You to send me the things You Need to do. Your Will Be Done. I choose Your Son's Blood and Resurrection over Drugs.

    R.... H....

    Ryan, you're not alone!  Let's get through this together.  Let's meet in heaven and rejoice that Jesus is Lord of lords.  Praying for you, pray for me.

  50. R.... B....

    same as every where. I have more dead friends than alive. I am lost

    R.... B....

    Ruthanna, if you were truly lost you wouldn't be here listening...your're at a crossroad. Next step, is up to you. Hang tough!

  51. S.... T....

    WISH OUR SON WOULD LISTEN TO THIS AND WOULD HAVE TAKEN JESUS IN STEAD OF DRUGS

  52. E.... 4....

    Tim is proving his awesomeness with Drugs or Jesus

  53. J.... I....

    I never done drugs it takes a strong person not to do them.

  54. E.... G....

    I'm not religious but I wanted to check it out because Kim Carnes sings background :)

  55. S.... T....

    I choose JESUS not drugs.

  56. D.... A....

    This song helped me stayed clean so thank you Tim McGraw luv you

    D.... A....

    I'm glad that you're sober and hope that you're not ever going back into satan's trap

  57. M.... W....

    We just lost my brother in law a week before Christmas! This song hits our home town hard!

  58. S.... K....

    I love this song. I've never seen the video which surprises me. I thought I'd seen all of Tim's videos. If anyone is interested, I made a video of this song too.

    S.... K....

    Susie *cough* self promotion *cough*. Nah but all seriousness I've watched your video and it's great

  59. m.... b....

    wow stumbled upon this song while binge watching sad videos n dwelling on my ex husband n how I lost him to drugs. somehow I can't help but think God brought me here to here this tonight

    m.... b....

    mylo brush thats why I'm here. lost my husband in 2012, prayers are with you

  60. N.... C....

    allsome

  61. b.... ....

    just realized this has the same intro as "faithfully" by Journey

  62. M.... R....

    I dont think theirs a reason for anyone to come on the comments and profess their non-belief. You clicked n something that clearly stated drugs or jesus. You knew it had some faith based message. Instead of coming on here and badmouthing people and their belief. just listen

  63. b.... d....

    Awesome song...Halleluja! !

  64. R.... L....

    If Jesus did exist which we all blatantly know he doesn't! If I did drugs which I don't I'd pick drugs haha

    R.... L....

    +Roots Lifted Just remember there are no atheists in hell...stay humble and kind...

    R.... L....

    @Rex Campbell i try to every day Rex! Jesus doesn't help me. I do love this song though, maybe one day i'll gods presence you never know!?

    R.... L....

    Roots Lifted do you need facts about the Lord Jesus walking this earth because atheists will agree he did because hes bin proven. Look it up please, look it up and believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and repent and be saved man. I hope you do i really do

    R.... L....

    Roots Lifted Obviously, you're not trying to be humble and kind. If you were, you wouldn't make fun of other people's beliefs. I don't have a problem with atheists. My brother used to be an atheist. I just have a problem with disrespectful atheists. I also have a problem with disrespectful Christians. I have a problem with disrespectful people.

  65. n.... ....

    thank u jesus x

  66. R.... D....

    THIS SONG IS ABOUT MY DAD

  67. M.... W....

    time to change.my life drugs or Jesus.

  68. S.... W....

    I wish my niece would've heard this song, now she's paying 4 it along with her 2 little girls that won't remember who their mom is.

  69. a.... j....

    My mother just called me out of nowhere and told me to listen to this. I rarely speak to her.

    God thank you for being greater than anything.

    a.... j....

    praise God Amen

    a.... j....

    A praying mama is a force that God leans into!!!
    God bless your mom! Praying for your sobriety!

    a.... j....

    You must take your mother's hand and tell her you love her. Fuck the bullshit! Wake up!

  70. c.... ....

    I chose both, drugs and Jesus. Drugs bring me closer to God, and Truth, and Love and Meaning. All of that.

    c.... ....

    Mathieu Galet naw depends. See some ppl don't even believe in god until they try certain drugs. Like acid and shrooms... tbh god put them on earth for whatever reason

  71. A.... L....

    He is struggling so bad. God please help my brother,give him wisdom!!!!!! he needs to walk with the Lord so bad!!!!

  72. A.... L....

    He is on the hospital right now. he drinks alot and he is 36 years old. ne of pancreas issues and liver issues. I want other people to be praying for my brother. he is my world.

    A.... L....

    will do

    A.... L....

    He is doing better.

    A.... L....

    +Aneek Law I gave up liquor. Tired of losing people that love me and almost gave up on me. Not worth it

  73. A.... L....

    this song reminds me of my brother.

  74. w.... d....

    it's a sign of hope and courage fuck drugs how about that

    w.... d....

    +Daniel Arrington kill ur self pretty boy :)

    w.... d....

    +Daniel Arrington Lol get a life! Faggot is a pile of sticks. You have a nice day.

  75. G.... P....

    this was my precious husband he's now with Jesus I had them play this out of service so many unbelievers were so touched I miss you Larry

    G.... P....

    God bless you! May he rest in peace.

  76. D.... D....

  77. M.... ....

    DRUUUUUUUUUGS !

  78. M.... ....

    Great song, my Pastor told me to listen to this song. And, I am so glad I did. This speaks MANY volumes. Great Job Tim. I Pray this helps at least ONE person. This world is bad and getting worse. I made my choice a long time ago....JESUS...now it's time for others to get on that path. Life is great with Jesus. God Bless All.

    M.... ....

    Thanks for this song......

  79. R.... S....

    Wait, did he pick drugs or jesus?  He never explicitly states which, just that he refuses to let god's light shine on him.

    R.... S....

    He picked drugs wears a cowboy hat makes millions singing about Jesus and buys more drugs

    R.... S....

    Y'all both retarded and prob both on drugs right now! Jesus help these 2 lost souls...

  80. B.... H....

    This song is my life.

    B.... H....

    same here & I need to get out asap

  81. N.... ....

    Im trying do hard to get off these damn drugs. I wanna be closer to my lord and savior Jesus and God by im stuck and can't get any help. Please god help me I love you so much please forgive me for all my sins.

    N.... ....

    @Linnet Mbotto I live in Ohio detox and rehab places are so full you can get help but you gotta wait months its very tuff. Im about to go threw the bad withdraws again cold turkey over the next couple days. Its very very hard im trying to get help but its very hard to find any atm.

    N.... ....

    well then, that`s alittle discouraging. Have you tried searching from the net if there are any institutions that help people to recover from drug addicts? I am sure there are some. May I help you, and get to know you? Probably I may help morally as a friend. [email protected] thats my email

    N.... ....

    @Linnet Mbotto Thanks would be nice to have someone to talk to. I have 3 pages in my notebook full of numbers. I've been calling and it's just very hard to get into places around where I live in a 200 mile radius the drug rehab places are just so full atm. Im working on it but it's very hard im stuck in a void.

    N.... ....

    Nosfeast Did they ever get in?

    Nosfeast good for u. Keep working. Read my web page. Petersholyrock.com.

  82. L.... M....

    Drug;Pleasure turned to torture, please choose Jesus.

    L.... M....

    Hey Linnet, Jesus Christ drank wine and smoked hashish and opium.

    L.... M....

    @Patrick Ciacco No. He didn't. Drank wine, he did. Smoked opium, he didn't! or anything of the sort and I welcome you to prove me otherwise. Please link your sources, I'm open to your info. Also, you sound like you're possibly enabling an addiction for yourself or someone else. Either way, please don't.

    L.... M....

    Hey Chaise, My source is the scriptures and they will prove you other wise. Read the scriptures your self and don't ask for any links.

  83. b.... ....

    hahaha this is the song I would get drunk too and stoned on. than I would listen to it after I sobered up. this is one strong video.

  84. G.... ....

    drUgs hA

  85. M.... ....

    I don't care what you think of the song, this video is really cheesy.

    M.... ....

    I'm guessing you've never done real drugs because this is pretty close to how it feels if you looked through someones eyes

    M.... ....

    Yes its extremely cheesy and just the title alone is super cheesy. But honestly its typical country music...lol

    M.... ....

    Well at least it is not satanic rap music which 90% is

  86. h.... b....
