The Louvin Brothers sing about the simple pleasures of leading a moral existence on "Christian Life." It's certainly less fire-and-brimstone than the album's title track, "Satan Is Real." In 1968, the song was given a modern update by the Byrds on their country-rock breakthrough Sweethearts of the Rodeo.

Religious Song Lyric: "I won't lose a friend by heeding God's call. For what is a friend who'd want me to fall?"
