There's a way-back-when back road
By the field where green grass grows
Couple names in the heart carved in that old live oak
No place like home, no place like home
I swear, the way the sunset paints the sky
Brings any long-lost soul to life
Like an old country hymn
All around me wherever I am
And I could sing forever and ever, amen
Like an old country hymn, play it again
Wash me white like a picket fence
Every note hits the soul like an old country hymn
Oh, yeah
Mama's crowded table at supper time
My old man and me porch talking all night
Got a blinded angel and she's all mine
In her blue eyes, I see the light
Like an old country hymn
All around me wherever I am
And I could sing forever and ever, amen
Like an old country hymn, play it again
Wash me white like a picket fence
Every note hits the soul like an old country hymn
Oh, yeah
Yeah, baptised in the Cumberland River
Yeah, lay me down in Wilmore Farms
Holy wine and homemade spirits
Hands held high, by and by
Like an old country hymn
All around me wherever I am
I could sing forever and ever, amen
Like an old
Just like an old country hymn
All around me wherever I am
And I could sing forever and ever, amen
Like an old country hymn, play it again
Wash me white like a picket fence
Every note hits the soul like an old country hymn, alright
Oh, yeah
Like an old country hymn
Hallelujah
