He wears the same suit every Sunday
She's not there to straighten his tie
He'll be back in the fields come Monday
Where he spent most of his life
We thought he came 'cause she made him
At least that's what we used to say
He's there every time the door's open
So he can see her again someday
He stands up and sings "Rock of Ages"
He fumbles to find her Psalms
He feels her turnin' the pages
Like she was right there readin' along
He puts his tithe in the offerin'
Somewhere in his heart, she's not gone home
That old man still worships
God and the ground she walked on
Every mornin', he walks in her garden
He's not real sure what it means
She knew how to make it blossom
So every day, he waters and weeds
Her son wants to move him to Phoenix
The bank says they'll buy back the home
But he pretends he doesn't hear 'em
'Cause he'd never leave her alone
He stands up and sings "Rock of Ages"
He fumbles to find her Psalms
He feels her turnin' the pages
Like she was right there readin' along
He puts his tithe in the offerin'
Somewhere in his heart, she's not gone home
That old man still worships
God and the ground she walked on
That old man still worships
God and the ground she walked on
