  • God and country music are like whiskey and a prayer
    Like Johnny Cash's arm around Billy Graham
    God and country music
    They both never change
    You find 'em when you need 'em
    Where you stand
    There's always lost in the found
    And darkness in the I—saw—the—light
    It's living in the small towns
    In some church and backroad honky tonk tonight
    It's a dance between the sin and the salvation
    Come hell or high water
    There's two things still worth saving
    God and country music
    God and country music
    God and country music
    They both showed you the truth
    Seen the low of the valley
    And the highs of the mountains too
    Folded hands and guitar strings
    Jukebox preachers and angels singing
    Call you like they knew ya
    Between the hell and hallelujah
    There's always lost in the found
    And darkness in the I—saw—the—light
    It's still living in the small towns
    In some church and backroad honky tonk tonight
    It's a dance between the sin and the salvation
    Come hell or high water
    There's two things still worth saving
    God and country music
    God and country music
    There's always lost in the found
    And darkness in the I—saw—the—light
    It's still living in the small towns
    In some church and backroad honky tonk tonight
    It's a dance between the sin and the salvation
    Come hell or high water
    There's two things still worth saving
    God and country music
    God and country music
    God and country music
