The Byrds were a popular American rock band formed in Los Angeles, California in 1964. They are considered one of the most important and influential bands of the 1960s.
Their music bridged the gaps between the socially and spiritually conscious folk music of Bob Dylan, the studio trickery of The Beach Boys, and the sardonic rock of The Beatles. Some of their trademark songs include pop versions of Bob Dylan's Mr. Tambourine Man and Pete Seeger’s Turn! Turn! Turn! (To Everything There Is a Season)

The Byrds The Christian Life written by Charlie & Ira Louvin
DAD
My buddies tell me that I should have waited DAEA They say I'm missing a whole world of fun DADG But I still love them and I sing with pride DAD I like the Christian life AGD I won't lose a friend while heeding God's call AGA For what is a friend who wants you to fall DADG Others find pleasures in things I despise DAD I like the Christian life
SOLO
DAD My buddies shun me since I turned to Jesus AEA They say I'm missing a whole world of fun DADG I live without them walking the line DAD I like the Christian life AGD I won't lose a friend while heeding God's call AGA For what is a friend who wants you to fall DADG Others find pleasures in things I despise DAD I like the Christian life
from the "Sweetheart Of The Rodeo" LP Columbia Records 1968
