When the world stops turning

Mmmm

A sky when quiet birds took flight

Radio died in the middle of the night

Some say rapture, some say war

I just lit a candle by the cabin door

Wind whispered, child don't run

Earth stood still, stars came undone

When the world stops turning, I'll still sing

Yeah, ashes on my boots, fire on my strings

If heaven don't want me, hell can't wait

Cause I'll dance in the dark with the hands of fate

Mmmm

Crossroads flooded, church lights gone

Devil hums that same old song

But I ain't scared, I've been there twice

Paid my dues and rolled them dice

Thunders laugh and angels grin

We all get washed but none stay clean

When the world stops turning, I'll still sing

Yeah, ashes on my boots, fire on my strings

If heaven don't want me, hell can't wait

Cause I'll dance in the dark with the hands of fate

Mmmm

You can take my name but not my sound

I was born from the flood and I won't drown

When the world stops turning, I'll still sing

Yeah

When the world stops turning, I'll still sing

Mmmm
