Lyric
God and country music are like whiskey and a prayerLike Johnny Cash’s arm around Billy GrahamGod and country musicThey both never changeYou find ’em when you need ’emWhere you standThere’s always lost in the foundAnd darkness in the I-saw-the-lightIt’s living in the small townsIn some church and backroad honky tonk tonightIt’s a dance between the sin and the salvationCome hell or high waterThere’s two things still worth savingGod and country musicGod and country musicGod and country musicThey both showed you the truthSeen the low of the valleyAnd the highs of the mountains tooFolded hands and guitar stringsJukebox preachers and angels singingCall you like they knew yaBetween the hell and hallelujahThere’s always lost in the foundAnd darkness in the I-saw-the-lightIt’s still living in the small townsIn some church and backroad honky tonk tonightIt’s a dance between the sin and the salvationCome hell or high waterThere’s two things still worth savingGod and country musicGod and country musicThere’s always lost in the foundAnd darkness in the I-saw-the-lightIt’s still living in the small townsIn some church and backroad honky tonk tonightIt’s a dance between the sin and the salvationCome hell or high waterThere’s two things still worth savingGod and country musicGod and country musicGod and country musicGod and country music
