Mama put a Bible in my hands And Daddy put my hands in the dirt I grew up in the heart of the heartland With a vintage Johnny Cash on my shirt I learned the truth from Grandad´s vinyl
And a preacher down on river road If you care to know anything about me I´ll tell you everything you need to know
I´m hallelujah hands high and friends in low places Red, white, and blue, and red-letter pages Back-row pew and front-seat Ford New King James and old King George I´m washed in the water and mud on the tires I´m Friday night lights and Sunday morning choir I´m prayers up to Heaven, roots down in Kentucky Made by God and country
God and country
Always been and will be my true north When it feels like the world´s going south
It is well with my soul where the green grass grows On some hometown holy ground
I´m hallelujah hands high and friends in low places Red, white, and blue, and red-letter pages Back-row pew and front-seat Ford New King James and old King George I´m washed in the water and mud on the tires I´m Friday night lights and Sunday morning choir I´m prayers up to Heaven, roots down in Kentucky Made by God and country
Made by God and country
I´m hallelujah hands high and friends in low places
Red, white, and blue, and red-letter pages Back-row pew and front-seat Ford New King James and old King George I´m grace-given free and a hard-earned dollar Child of the King and a coal miner´s daughter I´m prayers up to Heaven, roots down in Kentucky, oh yeah I got a good life down here and a better one waitin´ up above me Made by God and country
