THERE AIN'T NOTHIN'
SPECIAL 'BOUT
THE PLACE WHERE I
WAS RAISED
JUST A PICTURE SHOW
A DAIRY QUEEN
AND FRIDAY
FOOTBALL GAMES
A RIVER WHERE WE
USED TO SWIM ON
CAREFREE
SUMMER DAYS
AND A WATER TOWER
THAT WE ALL CLIMBED
AND PROUDLY
WROTE OUR NAMES
I GAVE MY HEART
TO JESUS THERE
WHEN I WAS JUST
THIRTEEN
I REMEMBER
MAMA CRYING AS
THE CHOIR
BEGAN TO SING
THE CONGREGATION
STOOD UP
AND THE PREACHER
SHOOK MY HAND
SO MANY MILES
AND YEARS AGO
BACK IN THE
PROMISED LAND
THEY'RE SINGIN'
ROCK OF AGES
IN THAT CHURCH
WHERE MAMA GOES
STANDIN' ON
THE PROMISES
AND PRAYIN' FOR
THE LOST SHEEP
OF THE FOLD
HOW I GOT SO
FAR AWAY
I'LL NEVER
UNDERSTAND
FROM THOSE STREETS
OF GOLD
THAT I CALL HOME
BACK IN THE
PROMISED LAND
NOW FALLEN ANGELS
WALK THE STREETS
BENEATH THE
NEON LIGHTS
AND THERE AIN'T NO
MILK AND HONEY
FLOWING
WHERE I SPEND
MY NIGHTS
THE LIGHT THAT USED TO
SHINE ON ME
IS GONE
WITHOUT A TRACE
AND THERE'S
ONLY ONE THING
KEEPING ME
FROM FALLING
OUT OF GRACE
THEY'RE SINGIN'
ROCK OF AGES
IN THAT CHURCH
WHERE MAMA GOES
STANDIN' ON
THE PROMISES
AND PRAYIN' FOR
THE LOST SHEEP
OF THE FOLD
HOW I GOT SO
FAR AWAY
I'LL NEVER
UNDERSTAND
FROM THOSE
STREETS OF GOLD
THAT I CALL HOME
BACK IN THE
PROMISED LAND
AND HOW I GOT
SO FAR AWAY
I'LL NEVER
UNDERSTAND
FROM THOSE
STREETS OF GOLD
THAT I CALL HOME
BACK IN
THE PROMISED LAND
