lyrics

Gospel Songs and Honky Tonks

You're standing there in your worn blue jeans
Been too long since I haven’t seen you, singing
Gospel songs and honky tonks

There's a crowd around you at the railway station
Some for love, some for salvation
Gospel songs and honky tonks

I do the best I can with this old guitar
This run-down car still gets me far, singing
Gospel songs and honky tonks

I’ve thought about you most every day
Hoping things worked out in a good way
Gospel songs and honky tonks

Like an angel you appeared to me
Spread your wings set me free
It was a special love and we let it go

Like an angel you appeared to me
But we both know I’m not free
It was a special love and we let it go

When I hear those melodies
I know you love me like a
Gospel song in a honky tonk

It's not about the money cause I’ll sing for free
I'm doing what I love, what I believe
Gospel songs and honky tonks

You can step away but I hope you know
Right down deep you're in my soul
Gospel songs and honky tonks

I caught my breath, didn’t think I’d feel
This rush of love that feels so real
Gospel songs and honky tonks

I can’t stay, I got a family
I got these folks depending on me
They’re my gospel song, they’re my honky tonk

Like an angel you appeared to me
Spread your wings set me free
It was a special love and we let it go

Like an angel you appeared to me
But we both know I’m not free
It was a special love and we let it go

When I hear those melodies
I know you love me like a
Gospel song in a honky tonk

Like a gospel song in a honky tonk
