| This tie’s fitting just a little too tight
|
| Might have had one too many last night
|
| I wonder if it’s written all over my face
|
| It’s been a little while since I’ve seen this place
|
| Still I’m sitting here in the back row
|
| Like a long lost son is come back home
|
| When I bow my head and taken off my hat
|
| A Sunday morning takes me back
|
| Growing up under that hometown church steeple
|
| Learning God hates sin but still loves people
|
| The preacher preaching 'bout the Promised Land
|
| And me thinking 'bout holding Jesse Lane’s hand
|
| And one hot summer when I was thirteen
|
| Took my soul to the river and washed it clean
|
| Feels so good, Lord, why can’t there be
|
| Seven Sundays a week?
|
| Well, I can still hear daddy singing strong and low
|
| It is well, it is well with my soul
|
| And mama laid up the Sunday best
|
| I can still count every flower on her blue sun dress
|
| I’ve done a lot of living since those days
|
| But a boy comes back when he’s been raised
|
| Growing up under that hometown church steeple
|
| Learning God hates sin but still loves people
|
| The preacher preaching 'bout the Promised Land
|
| And me thinking 'bout holding Jesse Lane’s hand
|
| And one hot summer when I was thirteen
|
| Took my soul to the river and washed it clean
|
| Feels so good, Lord, why can’t there be
|
| Seven Sundays a week?
|
| It was soft ball games
|
| And it was true love waits
|
| And all of those amazing things
|
| About amazing grace
|
| Growing up under that hometown church steeple
|
| Learning God hates sin but still loves people
|
| The preacher preaching 'bout the Promised Land
|
| And me thinking 'bout holding Jesse Lane’s hand
|
| And one hot summer when I was thirteen
|
| Took my soul to the river and washed it clean
|
| It feels so good, Lord, why can’t there be
|
| Seven Sundays a week?
